This 18th-century English wine glass is an example of Georgian glassware, formed from clear lead flint glass. The clear glass object has a trumpet bowl with a plain surface, sitting above a double series opaque twist stem containing white enamel cords wound around a central lace twist. The stem terminates in a wide conical foot showing a distinct shear mark and age-related wear to the rim alongside dealer stickers on the underside. Overall, the piece measures 19.2 cm high, 7.4 cm wide, and 7 cm deep. Today, this glassware suits placement on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library or dining setting. It functions as a decorative display item or period drinking vessel for a collection of antique glass. The clear material and white enamel decoration catch the light, while the rough pontil mark on the base highlights its traditional hand-blown construction.

FAQs

A double series opaque twist glass is an 18th-century vessel featuring two distinct patterns of white enamel canes encased inside a clear glass stem, typically created during the mid-to-late Georgian era.

These glasses were hand-blown using heavy lead flint glass. White enamel canes were arranged in a mold, encased in molten clear glass, drawn out, and twisted to form the internal stem pattern.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit a snapped pontil mark or polished base on a wide conical foot, subtle grey or grey-purple tones in lead glass, hand-drawn irregularities, and wear on the foot rim.

Stemware can be displayed in illuminated glass cabinets, arranged on sideboards alongside period silver, or grouped on tray tables to highlight the intricate stem details.

Hand wash gently in tepid water with mild liquid detergent. Avoid dishwashers, sudden temperature shifts, and storing glasses upside down on their delicate rims.
