This Georgian lead glass dram glass dates from the 18th century and is crafted from clear glass. The vessel has a flared rim with wheel-engraved starburst motifs and small circular dotted patterns around the upper bowl, a solid thick drawn stem with multiple horizontal knopped rings near the base, and a flat circular foot resting on a textured grey fabric surface. The bowl shows subtle vertical fluting above a heavy base, displaying clear transparency and reflective highlights under light. Measuring 12.5 cm high and 5.5 cm wide, the glass suits placement on a sideboard top in a gentleman's library or dining room setting for display or collection handling.

A dram glass is a small drinking vessel produced during the 18th century, specifically sized for serving spirits such as gin, whisky, or cordials.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using heavy lead glass, often featuring wheel-engraved geometric or floral motifs around the rim and a solid drawn stem.

Authentic 18th-century glassware often exhibits minor hand-blown irregularities, a rough or ground pontil mark beneath the foot, natural rim wear, and a distinct greyish tint characteristic of early lead glass.

Small antique glassware can be displayed inside a glazed cabinet, arranged along a sideboard top with contemporary decanters, or positioned as a decorative object within a gentlemans library setting.

Hand wash in tepid water with a mild liquid soap using a soft cloth, avoiding dishwasher use and rapid temperature changes that can induce thermal shock.
