A rummer is a large, heavy drinking glass that emerged in Britain during the late 18th century, traditionally used for serving ale, wine, or punch.

These vessels were typically hand-blown using lead glass or early crystal, often featuring a thick ovoid bowl set upon a short stem and circular foot for stability.

Authentic pieces often display characteristics such as a pontil mark on the base, inclusions or tiny air bubbles within the metal, and heavy weight due to lead content.

This piece can be displayed on a sideboard or mantelpiece as a standalone decorative object, or utilised functionally to hold seasonal botanicals or collected items.

Antique glass should be washed strictly by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive materials to protect the historic surface.
