This 18th century Georgian wine glass originates from England and dates to circa 1740-50. Formed from clear lead glass, the piece exhibits a bell-shaped bowl atop a balustroid stem with a shoulder and basal knop, finished with a folded conical foot. Close inspection reveals minor internal air bubbles suspended within the metal, along with subtle vertical striations running down the bowl wall and gentle circular moulding rings around the foot rim. It measures 15.5 cm high, 6.4 cm wide, and 6.9 cm deep. Suitable for display or service in a traditional dining room setting, the glass works well placed upon a sideboard top, a mahogany dining table, or inside a glazed display cabinet. Its timeless silhouette complements period interiors and brings historical character to a collector's display shelf. The clear metal catches natural daylight when positioned near a window, highlighting the handmade irregularities of mid-Georgian glassmaking.

FAQs

A balustroid wine glass is an 18th-century English stemware design featuring a stem shaped with knops or baluster-like swells, bridging the transition between heavy early Georgian balusters and later lighter stem forms.

Georgian wine glasses were hand-blown using heavy lead glass, also known as flint glass, which provided clarity, weight, and a distinct resonance when tapped.

Authentic period stemware typically features a pontil mark or smoothed pontil scar beneath the foot, slight asymmetry from hand-blowing, fine air bubbles within the fabric, and natural surface wear on the rim of the base.

Historical glassware can be arranged inside a glass-fronted display cabinet, set on a brass drinks tray atop a sideboard, or lined along open shelving to catch natural light.

Antique lead glass requires hand washing in lukewarm water with a mild liquid soap, avoiding extreme temperatures and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock and clouding.
