Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1850s:
Polished circular pontil scar to base: hand finishing before snap tools predominated.
Faint scuffing under the foot rim: resting on tables over many decades.
Tiny air seeds in the bowl: hand-gathered furnace work.
Applied angular knop below the funnel: hand assembly of bowl and stem.

Dating to c1850 during the Victorian period, this English wine glass is made from deep emerald green coloured glass. The piece has a pointed round funnel bowl supported by an angular shoulder knop above a plain slender stem, raised on a conical foot with a circular flat base and a polished pontil mark. The glass measures 13.6 cm in height, with a rim diameter of 6 cm and a foot diameter of 6.1 cm. Positioned on a sideboard top, this wine glass brings period character to a dining room or living space. It integrates well into traditional interiors as a decorative display item or as part of a curated collection of nineteenth-century glassware, offering both historical interest and functional display potential.

During the mid-19th century, British glassmakers introduced metallic oxides to produce rich hues such as emerald green and ruby red, catering to Victorian dining traditions and table decoration styles.

These glasses were hand-blown using lead crystal or soda glass infused with copper or chromium oxide to achieve the deep green tone, featuring hand-worked stems and attached bases.

Authentic mid-19th-century pieces often display slight inclusions, subtle variations in wall thickness, a pontil mark or smooth ground pontil on the base, and light wear on the underside of the foot.

Coloured Victorian stemware creates a refined contrast when grouped on a contemporary sideboard, displayed within open shelving, or integrated into modern table settings.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoided in dishwashers due to thermal shock risk, and dried immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
