This Georgian wine glass dates to the 18th century and is made of clear lead glass. It has a flared pan top bowl, a multi-spiral air twist stem with a double knop formation, and a conical foot. The surface is smooth and free from chips, cracks, or restoration. Measuring 15.4 cm high with a 5.6 cm rim diameter and a 6.9 cm foot diameter, the glass is suitable for display on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library. Additional visible details include the clear transparency of the glass, the fine spiral air bubbles trapped inside the stem, and the subtle moulding around the bowl rim. The piece would be used for display or as part of a collection of period glassware in a home setting today.

FAQs

An air twist wine glass is a mid-18th-century drinking vessel featuring decorative spiralled air channels trapped inside the stem during the glassblowing process.

Georgian stemware was primarily crafted from heavy lead crystal glass, prized for its clarity, refractive qualities, and weight.

Authentic pieces often feature a pontil mark on the base of the foot, hand-drawn stem twists, and slight asymmetry typical of period handcrafting.

Display antique glassware inside backlit cabinets, arranged on open shelving, or positioned on a dining room sideboard to highlight the light refraction.

Clean gently by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding rapid temperature changes or dishwasher use to prevent clouding and thermal shock.
