FAQs

Air twist glasses were introduced in Great Britain during the mid-18th century, around the 1740s to 1760s. The technique involved trapping air bubbles in molten glass and drawing them out into spiral patterns within the stem.

Mid-18th century drinking glasses were typically crafted from heavy lead crystal glass, formed using a three-piece construction method comprising a blown bowl, a drawn or attached air-twist stem, and a hand-formed conical foot.

Authentic period pieces feature subtle irregularities in the hand-drawn spiral air threads, a pontil scar on the underside of the conical foot, and a distinct weight and clarity characteristic of lead glass.

Display period stemware inside an illuminated glass cabinet or on a dark wood sideboard top to allow the internal stem details and silhouettes to catch ambient light.

Hand wash antique glass using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, avoiding dishwasher use, extreme temperature changes, or abrasive materials that could cause thermal shock or scratching.
