This set of seven Victorian sherry flutes brings classic English Country House style to a dining room or living space. Each piece is crafted from clear glass and stands on a circular foot with a short turned stem supporting a conical bowl decorated with thumb-cut facet details and polished pontil marks. The set sits neatly on a sideboard top or drinks cabinet for display or service during gatherings. The pieces measure 11.4 cm high and 4.9 cm wide. The clear glass displays natural minor bubbles within the material from its period of manufacture. The circular bases show slight variations in thickness and profile from hand-finishing, and the short stems exhibit gentle irregularities in the turning. Every flute remains in excellent antique condition.

FAQs

Victorian thumb-cut sherry flutes are 19th-century stemmed glassware designed for serving fortified wines, characterised by oval indentations cut directly into the glass bowl.

Stemware from this era was typically hand-blown using clear lead glass or flint glass, which provided structural weight and high clarity.

Authentic pieces display subtle variations from hand-blowing, polished pontil scars on the underside of the base, and precise wheel-cut facets.

Arrange the glasses on a polished tray atop a sideboard, inside a glass display cabinet, or as part of a formal dining table setting.

Hand wash the glasses individually in lukewarm water with mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers and sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.
