Description

This is a Georgian, English, hop and barley engraved plain stem ale glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1750.

The glass 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 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the bottom of the foot.

The glass has an extended ogee-shaped bowl measuring 6 cm. (2.4 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is engraved with a single hop flower to one side and a pair of barley ears in saltire (crossed) on the reverse. The bowl sits on a plain stem and a conical, folded foot which measures 7.3 cm. (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 18.5 cm (7.4 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

It is made from lead metal weighing 145 g. (~ 5 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian glassware, produced during the reigns of George I through George IV, is characterised by heavy lead metal composition, distinct stem formations such as plain, air twist, or opaque twist variants, and often features hand-engraved motifs reflecting contemporary agriculture or heraldry.

These pieces were predominantly crafted from lead glass, commonly known as flint glass, which provided a heavier weight, high refractive index, and clarity. They were mouth-blown into shape and hand-finished with tool manipulation and wheel engraving.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the underside of the foot, natural wear scratches known as age wear or salty friction marks around the base, subtle irregularities in the glass bubbles, and hand-cut or engraved detailing rather than modern acid etching.

Antique stemware adds a layer of history and texture when displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, used as a focal point on a bar cart, or incorporated into contemporary table settings to create a sophisticated layered aesthetic.

Antique glass should always be hand-washed in lukewarm water using mild detergent and dried immediately with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrupt temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and never place them in a dishwasher.
