This Georgian green lead glass wine roemer originates from England around 1790 during the period of George III. The piece is hand-blown from green glass in the European export style, featuring a rounded cup bowl sitting above a hollow stem with applied prunts. The conical foot incorporates applied trailing and concentric rings, while the open internal channel allows fluid to flow directly to the base. The vessel exhibits a glossy glazed finish throughout with distinct bubbles visible in the glass. It measures 15.2 cm high, 7.4 cm wide, and 7.4 cm deep. In a contemporary home setting, this wine glass suits display upon a sideboard top or within a glass-fronted cabinet in a dining room or study. The traditional form and olive-green colour complement both period interiors and English country house decor schemes. Collectors of Georgian tableware can integrate the item into an existing display of 18th-century drinkware. The sturdy proportions allow for safe placement on level wooden surfaces during special gatherings.

FAQs

A roemer, or romer, is a traditional style of wine glass originating in the Rhineland and Netherlands during the Renaissance and remaining popular through the eighteenth century. They typically feature a wide cupped bowl, a cylindrical hollow stem embellished with applied prunts, and a conical threaded or coiled foot base.

These glasses were mouth-blown using potash or soda glass, often tinted green or sea-green from iron impurities or intentional colouring agents. Key construction features include hand-applied glass prunts on the hollow stem and a foot created by coiling a continuous glass trail around a conical core.

Authentic eighteenth-century roemers display characteristic signs of period hand-crafting, including a polished or rough pontil mark beneath the base, subtle asymmetries, and tiny trapped air bubbles. The applied stem prunts and coiled foot show uneven spacing typical of manual glassblowing techniques of the era.

Small decorative glassware like a roemer can be displayed on a lighted glass-fronted cabinet shelf, a sideboard tray, or an open bookshelf where natural light highlights the translucency and green tint of the glass. Displaying it alongside contemporary ceramics or dark wood backgrounds offers a contrast in texture.

Historic glass should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using mild dish soap, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations that can cause thermal shock. Never place antique glass in a dishwasher, and dry immediately with a lint-free soft cloth to prevent water spotting.
