FAQs

Georgian glassware, produced during the reigns of the Georges from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by heavy lead metal content, characteristic pontil marks, and often detailed wheel or diamond point engraving depicting floral, allegorical, or agrarian motifs.

These items were predominantly mouth-blown using lead crystal or soda glass, featuring thick bases and heavy walls to ensure durability, followed by hand-engraving using copper wheel techniques.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining the base for a rough, snapped or polished pontil mark, checking for the heavy weight and dark greyish refraction characteristic of period lead glass, and observing wear-related scratches appropriate to age.

Antique glass can be integrated into contemporary spaces by displaying them openly on open shelving, using them as small vases for single stems, or styling them within traditional cabinet displays to add historical texture.

Antique glass should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and dried carefully with a lint-free cloth.
