Description

This is a scarce Georgian, English, wrythen-moulded flammiform dwarf ale glass with a folded foot dating from the second half of the 18th century, c1770.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a funnel-shaped bowl measuring 5.5 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the upper rim. The bowl is wrythen-moulded with a second gather of glass that reaches up to within two centimetres of the upper rim and has a flammiform fringe. The bowl sits on a knopped stem and a conical, folded foot which measures 6.7 cm (2.7 inches) in diameter. The glass is 12.3 cm (4.9 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

It is made from lead metal weighing 125 g. (~ 4 1/2 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian ale glasses typically feature narrow, conical or trumpet-shaped bowls, often decorated with moulded flutes, ribs, or flammiform patterns, supported by a stem and a folded foot for stability.

These vessels were hand-blown using lead glass or soda-lime metal, utilising techniques such as mould-blowing to create optical ribs and patterns on the bowl.

Authentic pieces often exhibit pontil marks on the base, uneven thickness, tiny air bubbles within the metal, and wear scratches consistent with age on the underside of the folded foot.

Display antique stemware inside a glazed cabinet, on open shelving with adequate lighting, or grouped on a sideboard to highlight the clarity and historical texture of the glass.

Clean antique glass by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing or dishwashers, and store them away from direct sunlight and drastic temperature fluctuations.
