FAQs

A bonnet glass, sometimes referred to in period inventories alongside monteith glasses, is a small footed glass vessel produced in Britain during the eighteenth century. Typically featuring a double ogee or cup-shaped bowl and a sturdy conical foot, these vessels were designed to serve dry sweetmeats, jellies, or salts at formal dining tables.

These vessels were hand-blown using lead crystal, known for its density, clarity, and resonance. Coloured accents, such as cobalt blue glass rims, were fused onto the molten clear body during production before the glass was worked onto a pontil rod and finished by hand.

Authentic pieces generally feature a snapped or polished pontil mark on the underside of the base, subtle air bubbles or striations within the metal, and light, natural wear marks on the bottom rim where the foot met surfaces. Hand-blown variations in bowl thickness and weight are also characteristic of period glass.

Small antique glass vessels function as sophisticated decorative accents when placed on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or window sill where natural light highlights the coloured glass details. They can be displayed individually or grouped alongside other historic glass and ceramics.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using a mild liquid detergent and a soft sponge. Rapid temperature changes must be avoided to prevent thermal shock, and pieces should be dried immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
