This Georgian bonnet glass dates from the eighteenth century and follows English domestic drinking and sweetmeat styles. The piece is shaped from clear lead glass with a cobalt blue rim, a double ogee cup bowl, moulded flutes, and a plain circular pedestal foot. The transparent body reveals a patterned honeycomb moulding across the lower bowl section and a smooth finish to the rim and base. The object stands 7.7 cm high. In a modern interior, the item sits neatly upon a sideboard top or display shelving as a decorative cabinet accent or a small table vessel. Collectors place such eighteenth-century tableware within dining rooms or living spaces to complement traditional glassware displays.

FAQs

A bonnet glass is a small footed glass vessel produced in Great Britain during the 18th century, named for its shape resembling an upside-down bonnet hat. These glasses were primarily designed for serving dessert items such as sweetmeats, jellies, or strong spirits like gin.

Georgian bonnet glasses were hand-blown using lead glass, prized for its clarity and high refractive index. Craftsmen shaped the bowl using optical moulds to produce honeycomb, ribbed, or diaper patterns, often adding colored glass trims, such as cobalt blue rims, before attaching a short pedestal stem and flat circular foot.

Authentic Georgian bonnet glasses exhibit characteristics of hand production, including a rough or clipped pontil mark on the base, slight asymmetry, and tiny air bubbles or striations within the glass fabric. They also tend to possess noticeable physical weight due to the lead content typical of 18th-century British glass manufacture.

Small antique glass vessels can be displayed inside lighted curio cabinets, arranged on acrylic risers, or positioned on top of sideboards where light passes through them. Grouping items of varying heights and rim accents creates a layered visual arrangement.

Hand wash antique lead glass individually in lukewarm water using mild dish detergent and a soft cloth, avoiding rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock. Never place 18th-century glass in a dishwasher, and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth to avoid water spots.
