This clear flint glass whisky measure dates to the 19th century Georgian period and originates from England. The piece takes a classic barware form, styled for use in a Highland hunting lodge, and is designed for displaying on a sideboard top. It is constructed from clear hand-blown glass, featuring a flared rim, an applied neck ring, cut shoulder flutes, and a ground pontil mark, with a polished pontil engraved with the initials RW. The object measures 15 cm in height and 6.8 cm in diameter. In a modern home, this barware serves as a functional display piece or as a historical drinking vessel. The clear glass construction allows the piece to catch the light, while the cut shoulder flutes and applied neck ring provide textural detail. The item holds two Scottish gills, approximately 213ml, with the measure determined by the upper applied neck ring. The surface remains clean and clear internally with no chips, cracks, or restoration.

FAQs

A Scottish glass whisky measure is a specialized 18th- or 19th-century tavern vessel designed to hold and serve precise volumes of spirits, such as a gill or multiple thereof, before standardized commercial bottling was widespread.

These vessels were typically hand-blown using heavy lead or flint glass. Craftsmen added structural applied neck rings for improved grip and hand-cut decorative flutes or facets around the shoulder.

Authentic pieces exhibit signs of hand-crafting, such as an polished or raw pontil mark on the base, slight asymmetry, tool marks around the neck ring, and distinct wear patterns on the resting surface.

Place the vessel on a wooden sideboard, drinks tray, or bar cart alongside period glassware to create a historic display focused on traditional craftsmanship.

Wash by hand using lukewarm water and mild dish detergent, avoiding extreme temperature shifts that cause thermal shock. Allow the interior to dry completely and refrain from using abrasive scrubbers.
