This clear lead glass gin vessel represents English Georgian drinking culture from around 1730. The piece displays a straight-sided bowl sitting above a basal air bubble enclosed within the solid lower section, transitioning down to a moulded pedestal stem with vertical fluting. The foot features a folded rim providing extra stability and strength at the base. At 11.9 cm high, the glass stands at a practical height for display or delicate use. The transparent material reveals characteristic tiny air inclusions trapped inside the clear substance during production. Placed upon a sideboard top or within a gentleman's library cabinet, this historic drinking vessel brings authentic 18th-century character to an interior setting. Collectors of antique glassware will appreciate the traditional form and tactile construction details that mark early English lead glass manufacturing traditions without relying on modern additions.

FAQs

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.
