Description

This is an engraved Georgian, glass tumbler dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base commensurate with some 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a bucket-shaped bowl measuring 8 cm (3.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with a single hop flower, so was presumably meant for holding ale, and the letters "HTI" to verso within a floral cartouche. The tumbler ends in a base that measures 5.7 cm (2.3 inches) in diameter. The glass is 10.3 cm (4.1 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

English lead glass weighing in at 265 g. (~ 9 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian glassware, produced during the reigns of George I through George IV, is characterised by heavy lead metal composition, deep pontil marks, and often intricate wheel or diamond engraving featuring botanical and heraldic motifs.

These vessels were typically hand-blown using lead glass, which provided a heavier weight and higher refractive index than standard soda-lime glass, before being decorated with hand-engraved details using a small copper wheel.

Authentic pieces often exhibit a rough or polished pontil scar on the underside, slight surface irregularities from hand-blowing, greyish wear marks on the base from age, and a distinctive resonant ring when tapped.

Antique tumblers can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, used as bud vases for small botanical stems, or integrated thoughtfully onto bar carts to introduce historical texture and craftsmanship into contemporary spaces.

Antique glass should be washed strictly by hand in warm water using mild, non-abrasive detergent, and dried immediately with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and protect the fragile historic surface.
