Description

This is a Victorian bird feeder dating from the early part of the 19th century, c1840.

The bird feeder is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear commensurate with 150+ years of use.

The bird feeder is cone-shaped and is surmounted by a blue glass ball finial above an annular collar. The feeder is otherwise plain save for the "spout" also being highlighted in blue glass. The feeder has a kicked-in base and measures 6 cm (2.4 inches) in diameter and 10 cm (4 inches) from end to end of the spout. The bird feeder is 12.5 cm (5 inches) in height.

There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration.

It weighs in at 95 g. (~ 3 oz.).

FAQs

Victorian bird feeders were developed during the 19th century as pet keeping and ornamental aviculture gained popularity among the middle and upper classes, often featuring hand-blown glass and decorative coloured accents.

These pieces were typically crafted using free-blown or mould-blown glass techniques, occasionally incorporating applied coloured glass elements such as finials or spouts for visual contrast and functional identification.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-specific manufacturing characteristics such as pontil marks, minor imperfections or bubbles within the glass, and hand-tooled components indicative of 19th-century glassblowing.

Such decorative glass items can be displayed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or deep window sill as a standalone object of curiosity, allowing natural light to highlight the coloured glass details.

Antique glass should be cleaned gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing or ultrasonic cleaners to protect fragile historical surfaces and applied components.
