Georgian Baluster Wine Goblet, Bell Bowl, Domed Foot

18th century
Description

This is a rare, Georgian, English, baluster stem wine goblet dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1740.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a bell-shaped bowl measuring 9.3 cm (3.7 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a baluster stem consisting of an annular knop above an inverted baluster with an air teared knop and a small basal knop. The stem ends in a domed foot which also measures 9.3 cm (3.7 inches) in diameter. The glass is 20.5 cm (8.2 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

This clear lead glass wine goblet dates from the eighteenth century. It takes the form of an English Georgian drinking vessel with a bell-shaped bowl and a domed circular foot, standing 20.5 cm high by 9.3 cm wide and 9.3 cm deep. The plain bowl rests on a turned baluster stem detailed with mouldings including an annular knop, an air teared knop, and a small basal knop, while the underside reveals a rough pontil mark. Age-related wear appears around the rim of the foot. Traditional glassware of this kind suits display on a sideboard top in an English country house setting. Collectors and hosts use such historic tableware for dining tables or cabinet display, integrating period pieces into daily interior styling.

FAQs

A Georgian baluster wine goblet is an 18th-century English drinking vessel characterised by a stem featuring turned knops resembling architectural balusters, supporting a flared or bell-shaped bowl.

These pieces were hand-blown using lead glass, a formulation introduced in England that provided weight, clarity, and light refraction, combined with hand-formed stems and folded or domed feet.

Authentic examples typically feature a rough or ground pontil mark underneath the base, greyish or dark optical tinting within the lead glass, minor air bubbles, and age-appropriate wear on the foot rim.

Position period stemware inside illuminated glass cabinets, atop dining room sideboards, or arranged on open shelves where directional light highlights the clarity and silhouette of the glass.

Wash gently by hand using lukewarm water, a mild neutral detergent, and a soft cloth, avoiding dishwashers, extreme temperature changes, and abrasive sponges.
