This eighteenth-century Georgian wine glass is made from clear hand-blown lead crystal in an English country house style. The piece consists of a bell-shaped bowl positioned above an annulated cushion knop and a multi-spiral air twist stem that incorporates both shoulder and centre knops. The stem terminates in a plain conical foot with concentric rings visible in the circular base. The glass measures 16.5 cm high, 6.4 cm wide, and 7.5 cm deep. In a contemporary home, the glass is suited for display on a sideboard top or within a cabinet setting. The clear material and delicate stemwork complement traditional and classic interior settings, offering a tangible example of mid-eighteenth-century English glassware craftsmanship. The proportions and weight of 171 grams make it practical for careful handling or as part of a curated collection of antique drinking vessels.

FAQs

Air twist glassware emerged in Britain during the mid-18th century, defined by spiral air channels introduced into the molten glass stem during manufacturing to create decorative interior motifs.

English glassware from this period was crafted using lead crystal, which allowed for clarity, weight, and smooth light refraction when hand-blown by glassmakers.

Authentic period stemware typically demonstrates hand-blown characteristics including a pontil mark on the underside of the base, subtle weight variations, and natural irregularities in the air twist spiral.

These glassware pieces can be displayed within illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on polished timber sideboards, or incorporated into curated dining tablescapes to highlight their reflective qualities.

Stemware should be washed individually by hand in lukewarm water using mild liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive cloths, extreme temperature changes, and automated dishwashers.
