Georgian Plain Stem Ale Glass, Passion Flower Engraved Bowl, Folded Foot

18th century
Description

This is a rare Georgian, English, plain stem engraved ale glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1750.

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 an extended rounded funnel-shaped bowl measuring 5.8 cm (2.3 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is nicely engraved with a single passion flower spray (passiflora) and with a Hoho bird to verso, the engraving being of a rare form. The bowl sits on a plain stem that ends in a conical, folded foot which measures 7 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter. The glass is 17 cm (6.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a small unburst bubble in the metal of the foot dating from manufacture. There are collectors' stickers for the Peter Eales Collection and Manser Collection plus one other to the underside of the foot.

English lead glass weighing in at 140 g. (~ 5 oz.).

FAQs

A Georgian ale glass is an 18th-century English drinking vessel specifically designed for serving ale, typically characterised by a tall, narrow conical or flute-shaped bowl supported by a stem and foot.

18th-century British glassware was typically crafted from heavy lead crystal, also known as flint glass, which allowed for wheel-engraved decoration and hand-blown construction techniques such as folded feet and drawn stems.

Authentic Georgian glassware can be identified by signs of hand manufacturing, including a pontil mark on the base, minor bubbles or irregularities in glass thickness, a folded rim on the foot, and wear patterns on the underside.

Antique glassware can be displayed inside illuminated glass cabinets, arranged along a sideboard top, or grouped on a decorative tray to highlight etched details and historic craftsmanship.

18th-century glass should be hand-washed individually in lukewarm water using mild detergent and dried with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding dishwashers and sudden temperature changes.
