FAQs

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.
