Georgian Plain Stem Dram Glass with an Undersewn Foot

18th century
Description

This is a Georgian, English, plain stem firing glass with an "undersewn" moulded foot dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1760.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a small ovoid-shaped bowl measuring 4.8 cm (1.9 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain save for some light flute moulding to the lower half and sits on a thick, extruded plain stem that leads to a thick, moulded, undersewn firing foot which measures 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter. The glass is 9.7 cm (3.9 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are a couple of unburst bubbles in the metal of the foot dating from manufacture. There is a small extraneous piece of glass on the outside of the bowl also dating from manufacture. There is a collector's sticker on the base of the foot for the Paul Kettle Collection.

Lead glass weighing in at 160 g. (~ 5 1/2 oz.).

Provenance: The Paul Kettle Collection

FAQs

A Georgian dram glass is an 18th-century drinking vessel designed for consuming spirits in small quantities. They typically feature heavy bases, sturdy stems, and thick-walled bowls to withstand frequent tavern usage.

During the Georgian era, glassmakers primarily utilised lead glass, also known as flint glass, which provided high clarity and weight. The pieces were mouth-blown and shaped by hand using traditional pontil rods.

Original Georgian pieces often display minor hand-crafting imperfections, such as seed bubbles, a snapped or ground pontil mark on the base, and slight asymmetry. The greyish tint of lead glass and an undersewn or folded foot rim are also key indicators.

Small antique stemware can be displayed on a dark wooden sideboard, organised inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or grouped on a tray to complement a modern home bar.

Antique glass should be hand-washed individually in lukewarm water using mild detergent and a soft cloth. Extreme temperatures, abrasive sponges, and dishwashers must be avoided to prevent thermal shock and surface clouding.
