Georgian Pillar & Prism Cut Glass Water or Wine Jug

19th century
Description

This is a late Georgian, pillar-cut glass water or claret jug dating from the beginning of the 19th century, c1830.

The jug is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 200 years of use.

The neck of the jug has four partial-cut annular neck rings below prism cutting. The pouring lip is extended and notch-cut. The shoulders and body are pillar-cut. Pillar cutting was, arguably, the most difficult cutting at the time and is most often associated with the Waterford Glass factory. The base measures 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter and has radial cutting to the edge. The jug measures 21 cm (8.4 inches) in height. The applied handle was first applied to the top of the jug and then finished off in the middle. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. It has been professionally cleaned.

Anglo Irish lead glass weighing in at 1.36 kg. (~ 3 lb.).

This clear lead crystal water or wine jug dates from the nineteenth century Georgian period. The vessel is formed with an applied loop handle, a notched rim spout, and an extended pouring lip, alongside a pillar cut body and prism cut neck featuring four annular rings. The underside of the base displays radial cutting. Age related wear and tear appears at the rim of the base, while the piece shows no chips, cracks, or significant scratches. It stands 21 cm high and measures 10 cm wide, weighing 1.36 kg. In a modern home, this piece works well displayed on a sideboard top as a decorative object or utilised practically for serving water or wine during dining. The clear glass construction and traditional cutting techniques lend a refined accent to both classic and contemporary table settings.

FAQs

Georgian cut glass tableware from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries is known for its substantial weight, high refractive index, and geometric cutting achieved through manual wheel-engraving techniques.

Georgian glassmakers primarily used lead crystal, formulated with lead oxide to increase brilliance, density, and softness, making it suitable for deep facet cutting.

Authentic pieces often display hand-finished pontil marks on the base, subtle variations in cut depth, friction wear on contact points, and a slight grey or blue tone characteristic of early glass formulas.

Placing an antique glass jug on a sideboard or open shelving allows natural light to pass through the cut facets, acting as a decorative accent or functional serving piece for gatherings.

Lead crystal should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent and soft cloths, avoiding dishwashers and sudden temperature fluctuations to prevent thermal shock or surface clouding.
