FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is a type of drinking vessel produced in 18th-century Britain, characterised by white or coloured enamel glass threads encased within the stem.

These glasses are made from lead glass, featuring an optical or plain blown bowl and a drawn stem incorporating opaque white enamel twists known as latticinio or enamel rods.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic manufacturing traits such as a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot, wear consistent with age, and slight air bubbles or striations within the metal of the glass.

Displaying antique stemware within a glazed cabinet or on a dedicated bar cart highlights its historical craftsmanship while adding tactile elegance to contemporary spaces.

Antique glasses should be washed by hand in warm water using a mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges, and dried immediately with a lint-free cloth.
