18th century
Description

This is a Sunderland blue, Georgian, wrythen-moulded sugar bowl dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800.

The bowl is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the under side of the foot.

The bowl measures 11.5 cm (4.6 inches) in diameter at the turned inward rim. The bowl is wrythen-moulded and sits on a small extruded foot which measures 5.3 cm (2.1 inches) in diameter. The bowl is 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in height. There are a few small inclusions in the metal of the bowl dating from manufacture.

It weighs 75 g. (~ 3 oz.).

This Georgian sugar bowl dates from the 18th century and originates from Sunderland. Formed from hand-blown cobalt glass, the vessel exhibits a translucent blue colour, a wrythen-moulded ribbed body, a flared rim, and a circular footed base. The piece displays age-related wear and tear to the foot rim, a rough pontil mark underneath, and small manufacturing inclusions in the metal. The item is 5.5 cm high, 11.5 cm wide, and 5.3 cm deep. Designed in an English Country House style, the container serves as a decorative accessory for a sideboard top in a home interior. It functions as a functional holder or a display object within a living room, dining room, or hallway setting. The transparent construction highlights the optical twists of the glass body under ambient light, while the sturdy pedestal base provides stability on flat surfaces. Collectors of Georgian glassware can integrate this example into existing displays of period tablewares and decorative arts.

FAQs

Wrythened glass refers to glassware produced during the Georgian era that features a swirled or twisted ribbed pattern, created by blowing molten glass into a ribbed mould and twisting it during production.

Georgian coloured glassware was made using lead glass formulas mixed with metallic oxides, such as cobalt oxide to achieve deep blue tones, before being gathered and shaped by hand.

Authentic Georgian glass pieces typically exhibit a pontil mark on the underside of the base, small air inclusions within the glass, and subtle variations in thickness from hand-blowing.

Coloured glass vessels are best placed on window sills, sideboards, or open shelving where direct light can highlight the transparency and surface texture.

Antique glass should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using a mild washing-up liquid, avoiding harsh chemicals, hot water, and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock and clouding.
