Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Glasses from the early 18th century, particularly during the George I and George II eras, are recognised for heavy lead glass composition, baluster or pedestal stems, folded feet, and functional proportions intended for spirits, cordials, or fortified wines.

Georgian stemware was primarily crafted from lead crystal, also known as flint glass, which incorporated lead oxide to enhance weight, clarity, and refractive index when hand-blown by glassmakers.

Authentic period examples display a distinct folded rim along the edge of the foot designed to prevent chipping, a rough pontil mark underneath the base where the glassmakers rod was detached, and minor inclusions or air bubbles within the glass.

Antique stemware is typically styled on dark wood sideboards, inside illuminated glazed cabinets, or atop vintage bar carts to highlight the clarity and silhouette of the glass.

Historic glass should be hand washed individually in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding extreme temperatures to prevent thermal shock, and dried gently with a lint-free soft cloth.
