Georgian Balustroid Wine Glass, Trumpet Bowl, Double Knop

18th century
Description

This is a Georgian, English, light baluster wine glass dating from the early to mid 18th century, c1740.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the base commensurate with some 250+ years of use.

The glass has a heavy bottomed trumpet-shaped bowl measuring 6.3 cm (2.5 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a baluster stem consisting of a short shoulder drop knop, and a small basal knop. The stem leads to a conical, folded foot which measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter and displays a rough pontil mark. The glass is 15.5 cm (6.2 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a tiny white inclusion in the metal of the bowl and some roughness around the top of the shoulder knop where the glass blower fashioned it using his pucellas.

It is made from English lead metal weighing in at 140 g. (~ 5 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian balustroid glass refers to mid-eighteenth-century English drinking vessels featuring stems shaped with knops, swelling forms, or balusters derived from classical architecture.

These pieces were hand-blown using heavy lead glass, composed of silica, potash, and lead oxide, resulting in glass with high refractive qualities and weight.

Authentic period stemware features a pontil mark on the underside of the foot, natural air bubbles within the glass matrix, wear marks consistent with age, and a subtle greyish or dark tint.

Displaying antique wine glasses inside a lit glazed cabinet or arranged upon a sideboard top highlights the glass clarity and structural silhouetting.

Wash stemware individually by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers, harsh chemicals, or sudden thermal changes.
