It has a round funnel bowl with a pair of annulated shoulder knops above an inverted baluster knop. Beneath is a plain stem standing on a conical foot with a polished pontil.

This Regency wine glass belongs to the 19th century and exemplifies the Georgian style. The piece is formed from lead glass with a hand-blown body in a vibrant peacock blue colour and finished with a polished pontil. Key details include a round funnel U-shaped bowl, an annulated shoulder knop, an inverted baluster knop on a plain stem, and a flat circular basal disc on a conical foot. The glass stands 13.4 cm high with a bowl diameter of 6 cm and a foot diameter of 6.3 cm. In a modern interior, this item sits appropriately on a sideboard top as a decorative object of antiquity. The composition brings a distinct coloured accent to a display cabinet or dining room setting, pairing functional antique drinkware with rich visual character from the William IV period.

During the late Georgian and William IV eras, English glassmakers produced deeply saturated coloured glass, including peacock blue, cobalt, and green, often featuring hand-blown bowls resting on knopped stems.

These glasses were crafted from heavy lead glass, tinted with metallic oxides such as iron or cobalt, and shaped using hand-blowing and hand-turning techniques.

Authentic period pieces typically display hand-polished or snapped pontil marks at the base, minor air inclusions within the body, and subtle variations in wall thickness from manual craftsmanship.

Displaying coloured glass on open shelving, sideboards, or near natural light sources accentuates its hue, creating decorative accents whether arranged in groups or isolated.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using mild liquid detergent, avoiding mechanical dishwashers, abrasive sponges, and sudden temperature shifts to prevent thermal shock.
