FAQs

Opaque twist wine glasses are historic drinking vessels characterised by white or coloured enamel glass threads encased within the stem. They were predominantly manufactured in Britain during the mid-to-late 18th century, particularly within the Georgian period.

These pieces were crafted from lead glass, which was valued for its clarity and weight. The intricate stem twists were formed by drawing and manipulating canes of opaque white enamel glass within a clear glass matrix before shaping the bowl and folded foot by hand.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit signs of handcrafting, such as a pontil mark on the underside of the base, minor surface abrasions consistent with age, and slight irregularities in the bowl and twist formation. Lead glass will also display a specific weight and ring when gently tapped.

An antique wine goblet can be displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, used as a focal point on a sideboard, or styled on an open shelf to highlight its tactile qualities and historical craftsmanship against modern minimalist backgrounds.

Antique glass should always be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock. They must never be placed in a dishwasher and should be dried carefully with a soft lint-free cloth.
