Georgian Continental (Liege) Honeycomb Moulded Wine Glass

18th century
Description

This is a Georgian, flute and honeycomb-moulded balustroid wine glass probably originating from Liege in Belgium and dating from the middle to late 18th century, c1770.

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

The glass has a rounded bucket bowl measuring 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is honeycomb-moulded to the top half and finger flute moulded to the lower. The bowl sits on a balustroid stem with shoulder and basal knops and containing a long well-worked air tear. The stem leads to a conical, folded foot which measures 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter. The glass is 13 cm (5.2 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, scratches or any obvious signs of restoration.

Thinly blown lead glass weighing in at 75 g. (~ 2 1/2 oz.).

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Georgian-era Continental stemware, particularly from glassmaking centres such as Liege, is characterised by mould-blown decorative patterns, knopped stems, and sturdy conical bases produced throughout the eighteenth century.

Items from this era were hand-blown using soda-lime or potash glass formulations, often shaped using dip moulds to create external textures like honeycomb or fluting before the stem and foot were attached manually.

Authentic period glassware typically displays slight asymmetric variations from hand-crafting, a snapped or ground pontil mark on the underside of the foot, minor air bubbles within the glass matrix, and natural wear patterns on the base rim.

Historic glass goblets can be displayed inside illuminated glazed cabinets, curated on bar carts alongside modern decanters, or arranged as decorative accents on dining sideboards.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes that cause thermal shock. Never place antique hand-blown glass in a dishwasher.
