Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Snapped pontil scar to the recessed base: hand-blown glass before mould production.
Applied ribbed handle with crimped terminal: characteristic early nineteenth-century hand tooling.
Fine, natural surface scratches on the base: long wear on table surfaces.

This clear lead glass tankard originates from England during the Georgian period around 1820. The cylindrical body exhibits hand-blown characteristics with visible internal tiny bubbles, topped by a ribbed rim featuring applied reeding and a solid foot with a flared base. Attached to the side is a loop handle complete with a scrolled lower terminal that curves elegantly outward. Standing 12.5 cm high, the vessel holds three-quarters of a pint of liquid securely within its thick walls. Placed upon a sideboard top in a gentleman's library or dining room setting, this drinkware piece serves as both a functional cup and a decorative display item. The transparent glass catches ambient light while revealing the simple contours of the interior cylindrical chamber and the robust proportions of the lower base. Maintenance involves gentle hand washing to preserve the historical surface integrity and overall finish.

FAQs

Georgian glass tankards produced around 1820 were utilitarian drinking vessels crafted during the late Georgian and Regency periods. They reflect the transition towards heavier lead-crystal glassware and feature simple cylindrical forms with practical handles designed for daily ale consumption.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using lead glass, which provided improved clarity and weight compared to soda glass. Elements such as handles and rim rings were applied separately by hand while the glass remained hot, leaving distinct tool marks and unique variations.

Authentic Georgian examples usually feature a polished or rough pontil mark on the base where the glassmakers rod was detached. Look for slight asymmetry, natural friction wear on the underside of the base rim, and small inclusions or seeds within the glass matrix.

Display the vessel on a sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or alongside leather-bound books on a shelf to highlight its form. Allowing light to pass through the glass enhances its transparency and visible hand-blown details.

Hand wash the item in tepid water using a mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes that could cause thermal shock. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth, and refrain from dishwasher cleaning to preserve the glass surface.
