This Georgian lead glass wine glass from circa 1765 presents a clear composition with an opaque white twist stem and a conical foot. The vessel incorporates a rounded bowl featuring moulded flutes around the base, combined with a fine double series opaque twist through the stem and a plain foot below. The object stands 13.5 cm high, 4.8 cm wide, and 6.9 cm deep. Positioned on a sideboard top, the piece integrates into an English country house interior for display or careful service. The transparent finish reflects light along the vertical facets of the bowl and the spiral threads of the internal stem. Maintenance involves hand washing with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the material.

FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is an 18th-century English drinking vessel featuring internal white enamel threads embedded within a clear glass stem. Popularised around 1750 to 1780, these pieces reflect the skilled craftsmanship of Georgian glassmakers following taxes placed on glass weight.

Georgian glassmakers produced opaque twist stems by placing rods of opaque white enamel inside a mould, filling the remaining void with molten lead glass, and drawing and twisting the gathering while hot. The resulting patterned column was subsequently fused to the blown bowl and conical foot.

Authentic period glasses generally display minor hand-made irregularities, pontil scars or smoothed bases, and slight greyish tones characteristic of period lead glass formulas. Stems feature hand-drawn spiral variations rather than modern uniform machine patterns.

Display an antique glass on a timber sideboard top or inside a lit glass cabinet to highlight the internal stem detail. Arranging individual period glassware items alongside contemporary ceramic objects creates balanced visual texture.

Clean period stemware gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding rapid temperature changes that risk thermal shock. Store vessels individually to prevent rim contact, and never clean antique glassware in a dishwasher.
