FAQs

Cylinder glass wine bottles emerged in the mid-to-late 18th century, transitioning from earlier squat forms to allow horizontal binning in cellars. Manufactured in dark olive or dark green glass to protect contents from light, these bottles feature hand-blown bodies and applied glass string rims.

Georgian wine bottles were hand-blown using thick dark green glass containing iron impurities, which provided durability and light filtration. Glassmakers formed the cylindrical body, added a dipped or free-blown neck, and manually applied a glass ring below the mouth to hold cork ties.

Authentic period bottles display hand-blown irregularities such as asymmetric bodies, air bubbles within the glass matrix, and a push-up base with a pontil mark. Natural surface iridescence and patination often develop over centuries due to chemical weathering during storage.

An antique glass bottle functions as a standalone sculptural object on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or console table. Grouping vessels with varying patination and heights creates an understated decorative display that catches natural light.

Dust the surface lightly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to protect fragile surface iridescence. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive tools, or soaking the bottle in water, as moisture can alter or remove historic surface patination.
