Description

This is a Georgian, English, colour twist stem wine glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1765.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a plain bell-shaped bowl measuring 6.6 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl sits on a colour twist stem consisting of an opaque white multi-ply corkscrew edged on one side in translucent emerald-green and on the other in opaque iron-red, a pair of heavy opaque white spiral threads between. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 15.8 cm (6.3 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are a couple of tiny unburst bubbles in the metal of the bowl dating from manufacture. There is a collector's sticker attached to the underside of the foot.

Lead glass weighing in at 170 g. (~ 6 oz.).

Provenance: The Harald Leuba Collection. Previously with Delomosne and Son, 12th July 1984.

FAQs

Georgian glassware encompasses items produced during the reigns of the Hanoverian kings from 1714 to 1830. Colour twist stems were manufactured by enclosing coloured enamel rods within clear glass to create intricate internal helical patterns.

These pieces were crafted from lead glass, known for its clarity and heavy weight, combined with opaque or coloured glass threads manipulated while molten to form the signature twisted stems.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base where the glassblowers rod was detached, unevenness in the hand-blown bowl, and internal wear or minute scratches consistent with age.

Antique glassware can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets or styled as single decorative accents on sideboards to introduce historic character and tactile contrast to modern interiors.

Antique glass should be hand washed gently using warm water and mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and harsh scrubbing to protect the fragile historical material.
