This Georgian wine goblet is an 18th-century English piece of glassware made from clear lead glass with enamel elements. It possesses a round ogee bowl, an opaque white double series spiral twist stem, and a plain conical foot. The clear material shows smooth surfaces, and the stem exhibits intricate white twists within the clear glass. Measuring 17.2 cm high with an 8.5 cm rim diameter and an 8.5 cm base diameter, it weighs 125 grams. The goblet suits placement on a sideboard top in an English country house setting. It functions as a usable glass for serving wine during formal dining occasions or casual gatherings. The traditional proportions allow it to sit securely on dining tables or display shelves while integrating into established table settings or antique glass collections.

FAQs

Opaque twist wine glasses were produced in Britain during the mid-to-late 18th century, featuring decorative white enamel threads encased within a clear lead glass stem.

Glassmakers arranged canes of opaque white enamel inside a mould, surrounded them with molten lead glass, and then heated, drew out, and twisted the assembly to form the pattern.

Authentic pieces generally display pontil marks or smoothed scars on a conical foot, slight imperfections like air bubbles in the lead glass, and appropriate wear to the base.

Arranging these historical glasses inside a glass-fronted cabinet or on a drinks trolley creates an elegant decorative feature that highlights the detailed internal stemwork.

Hand wash antique stemware using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding dishwasher exposure or rapid thermal changes that could crack the glass.
