Jacobite glasses were covertly used in the eighteenth century by supporters of the exiled House of Stuart to toast the exiled royal family after the Jacobite risings.

These vessels were typically hand-blown using lead crystal or soda glass, then hand-cut with facets and wheel-engraved with symbolic motifs.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the pontil mark on the base, the wear patterns, the chemical composition of the glass, and the precision and style of the wheel engraving.

Displaying the piece within a glazed cabinet or on a dedicated shelf allows the light to catch the facet cuts while protecting the fragile historical object.

Antique glass should never be placed in a dishwasher; it requires gentle hand washing in lukewarm water with mild soap and careful drying with a lint-free cloth.
