Georgian Facet Cut Knopped Stem Wine Glass

18th century
Description

This is a Georgian, English, facet cut stem wine glass dating from the end of the 18th century, c1780.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 200+ years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the under side of the foot.

The glass has a rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 5.7 cm (2.2 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is cut with six petals to the base and gives the illusion of a six-petal flower or rose when viewed from above. This has caused some observers to claim Jacobite sympathy in the design of such glasses, in the theory that they show the Stuart six-petal rose. The bowl sits on an oval facet cut stem with a medial knop. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 16 cm (6.4 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

English lead glass weighing in at 145 g. (~ 5 oz.).

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, Georgian facet cut wine glasses feature intricate diamond or hexagonal geometric cuts ground into the stem to refract light, a technique that gained prominence following taxes imposed on glass weight.

These pieces were hand-blown using lead crystal or flint glass, with faceted geometric motifs ground into the central stem and knop using abrasive wheels before final polishing.

Authentic period stemware typically displays minor hand-blown imperfections, a sheared or smoothed pontil mark under the foot, natural surface wear on the base rim, and a slight greyish tone under light.

Display historic stemware within an illuminated glass cabinet or arranged along a sideboard top where directional lighting can highlight the cut geometry of the stem.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using mild liquid detergent, avoid dishwashers or rapid temperature shifts, and dry thoroughly using a soft, lint-free cloth.
