Georgian Very Large Ceremonial Double Opaque Twist Wine Goblet

18th century
Description

This is an oversized Georgian, English, double series opaque twist ceremonial wine goblet dating from the second half of the 18th century, c1765.

The glass is in good condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a rounded bucket-shaped bowl measuring 12.2 cm (4.9 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl sits on a double series opaque twist stem consisting of four thin white enamel cords wound around a spiral twist of two lace tapes. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 11.3 cm (4.5 inches) in diameter. The glass is 24 cm (9.6 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. Having said that we believe that the foot was originally wider and has been professionally ground down at some time in the past. There are a small number of tiny inclusions in the metal of the foot dating from manufacture.

English lead glass weighing in at 715 g. (~ 1 lb. 9 oz.). The last image shows the glass against a smaller standard sized opaque twist wine glass for contrast only. The smaller glass is NOT included in the price.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

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.

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

Produced predominantly in mid-to-late 18th-century Britain, an opaque twist goblet features intricate white enamel spirals encased within a clear glass stem, created using specialised glass-pulling techniques.

These pieces were crafted from English lead crystal glass, incorporating internal opaque white glass or enamel rods drawn and twisted to form decorative stem patterns.

Authentic period examples generally feature hand-blown irregularities, pontil marks on the base, a resonant ring due to lead content, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

Displaying large glass goblets on a lit sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or alongside period decanters creates a refined focal point in dining or library settings.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding dishwasher use or sudden temperature fluctuations to prevent thermal shock and clouding.
