This pair of 18th-century Georgian gin glasses displays clear hand-blown lead glass construction with a lustrous transparent finish. Each drinking vessel features a flared conical bowl decorated with wheel-engraved sunflowers and birds in flight near the rim, supported by a plain stem rising from a folded conical foot. The visual inspection reveals crisp wheel-engraved botanical and avian motifs, smooth turned stems, and folded rims on the circular bases, all showing no damage and in perfect condition. Standing 118 mm high, these traditional pieces serve as elegant glassware for display on a sideboard top in an English country house interior, bringing period character to a modern dining room or living space during social gatherings.

FAQs

Georgian gin glasses are small drinking vessels produced in 18th-century Britain, designed specifically for serving spirits such as gin, cordials, and drams.

These pieces were hand-blown using heavy lead glass, frequently featuring wheel-engraved botanical motifs, plain or twisted stems, and hand-formed bases.

Authentic pieces often display subtle pontil marks on the base, variations in hand-engraved detailing, minor glass asymmetry, and a characteristic greyish tint from early lead formulations.

Displaying a pair of historical glasses on a drinks trolley, atop a sideboard, or inside an illuminated cabinet adds textural history to modern dining spaces.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using a mild soap, avoiding dishwashers, sharp temperature changes, and abrasive sponges that could harm hand-engraved details.
