FAQs

An air twist wine glass is an 18th-century style of British stemware characterised by internal spiral patterns formed from trapped air bubbles drawn out during the glassblowing process.

These glasses were hand-blown using English lead crystal, where glassmakers introduced air pockets into the gather of molten glass before elongating and twisting the stem to form continuous spiral threads.

Authentic pieces feature a snapped or polished pontil mark on the base, slight irregularities in the hand-drawn stem twists, and a characteristic heavy lead glass composition with subtle grey hues.

Display stemware inside a glazed cabinet or upon a sideboard top where backlighting can pass through the stem to highlight the internal spiral work.

Wash stemware individually by hand using lukewarm water and mild dish detergent, avoiding thermal shock and abrasive sponges, then dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.
