This Georgian light baluster wine glass dates to 1750 during the period of King George II. Made in England from hand-blown clear lead glass, the piece has a flared bell bowl set above a multi-knopped baluster stem that includes an inverted baluster shoulder knop, a half knop, an inverted air-teared baluster knop, and a basal knop, all terminating in a conical foot. The clear material reveals the smooth curved profile of the bowl and the detailed turned sections of the stem. Measuring 20.2 cm in height, the glass stands on a wide circular foot of 8.2 cm diameter and has an 8 cm rim diameter. Placed on a sideboard top, the wine glass brings traditional English Country House character to a dining room or living space. The clear composition allows the piece to catch the ambient light on a table surface or display cabinet shelf. The tall proportion and intricate stem work create a striking silhouette when positioned among other tableware. The glass functions as a decorative object for display or as part of a formal tablesetting in a traditional home interior.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, light baluster wine glasses feature stems crafted with varied knops inspired by architectural balustrades, produced during the mid-Georgian era as glass taxation shifted production styles.

These glasses were hand-blown using heavy lead crystal or flint glass, incorporating drawn or pulled stems, knopped decorative sections, and a wide conical foot.

Authentic pieces display characteristic pontil marks on the base, minor striations from hand-blowing, greyish or dark hues inherent to historical lead glass formulations, and proportioned stem knops.

Individual antique stemware pieces or small groupings can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, positioned on dining sideboards, or arranged on open shelves to add historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Hand wash gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding hot water and dishwashers to prevent thermal shock, stress fractures, or surface clouding.
