This clear lead glass wine rinser dates from the Regency period around 1820 and originates in England during the reign of George IV. The heavy vessel has a cylindrical form with vertical fluted cutting around the lower body and a polished rim incorporating two distinct pulled sections designed to rest the handles of wine glasses. The polished pontil mark is visible on the base. The piece measures 9.2 cm in height and 13.8 cm in diameter. Historically placed on the dining table to wash a glass between different wines to prevent flavour contamination, this item now finds a practical home on a sideboard top as a decorative holder or container for small household items.

Wine glass rinsers were introduced in the late 18th century as dining accessories, filled with cool water to rinse glass bowls and chill them between courses during formal meals.

Georgian rinsers were primarily mouth-blown from heavy lead glass, featuring hand-cut fluting, polished pontil marks on the base, and individually formed spouts along the rim.

Authentic Regency examples typically exhibit hand-cut facets around the lower body, minor hand-crafting variations within the glass density, a ground pontil mark, and single or double pouring spouts.

A glass rinser can be repurposed as a decorative accent bowl on a sideboard, styled with floating botanical cuttings, or utilised to hold small items on a vanity table.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using mild liquid soap, avoiding dishwashers or rapid temperature fluctuations to prevent thermal shock and cracking.
