This eighteenth-century English wine glass dates from the Georgian period and is made from clear lead glass. It has a pan-top bowl resting on a stem with a multi-spiral air twist and a central swelling knop, terminating in a wide conical foot. The underside of the foot shows a rough pontil mark, and there are age-related wear and tear marks on the rim of the foot consistent with long-term use, alongside no chips, cracks or restoration. The glass stands 14.8 cm high and 6.5 cm wide. In a modern interior, this piece serves as a decorative drinking vessel or a display item suitable for placement on a sideboard top. Its traditional silhouette and clear glass construction allow it to blend seamlessly into an English Country House aesthetic or a classic dining room setting.

FAQs

Air twist wine glasses are mid-18th-century English drinking vessels featuring internal air spirals formed by manipulating trapped air pockets inside molten glass stems during hand production.

Georgian stemware was made from English lead crystal, also known as flint glass, which provided substantial weight, high clarity, and light-refracting properties suitable for decorative stemwork.

Authentic period examples display a pontil mark or polished base scar, subtle variations in the hand-twisted internal spirals, a slight grey tone inherent to lead glass, and light operational wear on the bottom of the foot.

Individual pieces are frequently showcased within illuminated glass cabinets, arranged atop dining room sideboards, or placed on modern bar carts to provide historical contrast.

Hand wash stemware individually in lukewarm water using mild dish detergent, dry immediately with a soft lint-free microfibre cloth, and avoid dishwasher exposure or sudden thermal changes.
