Description

This is a Georgian, hop and barley-engraved facet cut stem ale glass dating from the late 18th century, c1770. This is the second time this glass has passed through our hands.

There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a collector's sticker to the underside of the foot for the Peter Eales collection.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Georgian ale flute is a tall, narrow drinking vessel crafted during the eighteenth century specifically for serving ale or beer.

These glasses were hand-blown using lead glass formula, featuring wheel-engraved surface patterns such as hops and barley alongside diamond or hexagonal facet-cut stems.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit slight natural grey-purple tones in the lead metal, pontil scars on the base, irregularities from hand-cutting, and specific historic motif engravings.

Displaying these glasses in a lit glass-fronted cabinet, on a dining room sideboard, or integrated into a curated bar cart arrangement highlights the detailed facet cuts.

Clean hand-blown antique glass by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding high heat or dishwashers, and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.
