This 18th century Georgian wine glass is made from clear lead crystal and enamel. The piece takes the form of a drinking vessel featuring a flared bell bowl set above a double series opaque twist stem containing white spiral enamel threads, terminating in a circular plain conical foot. The clear material allows light to pass through the vessel while highlighting the intricate white interior decoration of the vertical stem. Standing at 15.5 cm high, the glass measures 6.1 cm wide at the rim and 7 cm deep at the base. In a modern interior, the item sits comfortably on a sideboard top as part of a glassware display or within a traditional table setting. The clear glass construction and delicate white enamel motifs suit an English Country House aesthetic, bringing period character to dining rooms or living spaces. The piece functions effectively as a decorative accent or a collector's cabinet display item, offering a practical representation of Georgian glassware design.

FAQs

Opaque twist wine glasses were produced in England during the mid-to-late 18th century, featuring intricate white enamel spirals fused within the clear lead glass stem.

These pieces were hand-blown using lead crystal, with solid white enamel rods inserted into a glass cylinder, heated, and twisted while hot to form the internal stem pattern.

Authentic Georgian stemware exhibits minor hand-blowing variations, slight asymmetry, pontil marks or smoothed pontil scars on the base, and soft foot-rim wear from usage.

Antique stemware can be displayed inside illuminated glazed cabinets, arranged on a brass bar cart, or used as accents on a sideboard to add historic character.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent, drying immediately with a soft cloth while avoiding dishwasher use and extreme temperature changes.
