Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

A dram glass is a compact 18th-century drinking vessel designed specifically for serving strong spirits such as whisky or gin, characterised by its small bowl capacity and robust construction.

During the mid-18th century, English glassware was mouth-blown from lead crystal, featuring hand-drawn stems and folded foot rims created by folding the edge of the foot underneath to prevent chipping.

Authentic pieces typically feature a folded foot rim, slight asymmetry from hand-blowing, a greyish tint to the lead glass, hand-executed wheel engraving, and a ground or raw pontil mark beneath the base.

Display them alongside a vintage decanter on a styled bar cart, inside a lit glazed cabinet, or atop a sideboard tray to create a curated focal point.

Wash carefully by hand using lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding hot water and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock and chemical clouding.
