This Georgian tankard dates to around 1800 and exemplifies English glassware of the period. Made from cobalt glass, the small mug exhibits a deep cobalt blue colour with a smooth finish and a slightly waisted form featuring a flared rim and base. Additional details visible include a curved applied handle, decorative trailed glass work at the lower attachment point of the handle, and a rough pontil scar to the underside of the base. The vessel stands 7.5 cm high. In a contemporary home, this piece suits placement on a deep window sill to catch the light, or functions as a decorative accent within an English country house interior scheme. It integrates easily into collections of antique glassware on open shelving or within a display cabinet.

FAQs

Georgian coloured glassware refers to hand-blown vessels manufactured in Great Britain between 1714 and 1830. These pieces are characterised by deep pigments, such as cobalt blue and emerald green, created through metallic oxide additives during production.

Georgian cobalt glass was produced by adding cobalt oxide to lead crystal or soda glass mixtures. The molten glass was hand-blown and shaped using iron tools, often resulting in applied handles and pontil marks at the base.

Authentic Georgian pieces typically display an snapped or ground pontil scar on the underside, slight asymmetrical variations from hand-blowing, and faint wear rings on the base from friction over time.

Coloured antique glass is best positioned where natural or artificial light can pass through it. Placing pieces on a deep window sill, glass shelf, or sideboard top highlights the deep cobalt tone.

Wash the glass by hand using lukewarm water and mild dish detergent. Avoid dishwashers, hot water shocks, and abrasive cleaners that can damage or crack historical lead glass.
