FAQs

Glass spirit measures were commercial and domestic vessels used in the nineteenth century to standardise and portion exact liquid servings of gin, whisky, rum, and brandy in public houses and private dining rooms.

These measures were traditionally hand-blown or press-moulded from heavy lead glass, followed by hand-cutting, panelling on the neck, and wheel-engraving for volumetric markings or personalisation.

Authentic nineteenth-century glass measures display minor air bubbles within the glass matrix, rough or polished pontil marks on the underside, hand-engraved liquid capacity lines, and natural wear across the basal rim.

Group graduated glass spirit measures together on a silver tray, a wooden sideboard top, or inside a glazed display cabinet alongside antique decanters and glassware to form a focused barware collection.

Wash hand-crafted antique glass using lukewarm water and a mild non-abrasive soap, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations or dishwashers, and dry immediately with a lint-free microfibre cloth.
