This set of six very tall wine flutes dates from the Georgian Revival period around 1930 and follows traditional English craftsmanship styles. Made from clear lead crystal glass, each piece consists of a conical trumpet bowl, a knopped stem containing an internal air twist decoration, and a circular terraced base. The glass is colourless and transparent, showing smooth reflective surfaces on the bowls and detailed spiral twists within the stems. Measuring 23.5 cm high, these glassware items suit placement on a dining table, sideboard top, or display cabinet. They function practically for serving sparkling wine or champagne during formal dinners or gatherings, and complement traditional interiors or English Country House room schemes.

FAQs

Air twist flutes are stemware featuring decorative spiral air channels contained within the glass stem, a technique popularised in 18th-century Britain and reproduced in later glassmaking periods.

Air twist stems are created by introducing air pockets into a gather of molten lead crystal glass, which is then drawn out and rotated repeatedly before forming the final stem shape.

Authentic pieces display distinct, symmetrical spiral air channels inside the glass stem, density consistent with lead crystal, and smooth polished bases or original pontil marks.

Place these flutes on a timber sideboard, a polished brass bar cart, or inside an illuminated display cabinet to highlight the light-refracting properties of the twisted stems.

Hand wash each glass individually in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoid abrasive sponges, and dry with a soft lint-free microfibre cloth.
