Description

This is a rare Georgian, English single series colour twist wine glass dating from the middle of the 18th century, c1765.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. It shows age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the foot commensurate with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a bell-shaped bowl measuring 7 cm (2.8 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is plain and sits on a single series colour twist stem consisting of a lace twist with one edge coloured a deep burgundy red. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) in diameter. The glass is 17 cm (6.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is a small black inclusion in the metal of the foot at the edge dating from manufacture, the glass creating a tiny protuberance at that point.

Lead glass weighing in at 170 g. (~ 6 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian twist wine glasses date from the 18th century and are characterised by intricate spiral patterns inside the stem, created using air, opaque white, or coloured glass rods.

These glasses were typically crafted from lead glass, known for its high refractive index, weight, and clarity, which allowed makers to draw out slender and durable stems.

Authentic pieces often feature pontil marks on the underside of the foot, wear scratches consistent with age, minor bubbles or striations within the metal, and hand-formed bowl proportions.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets or styled on open shelving to add historical texture, reflectivity, and refined elegance to dining spaces.

Antique glass should always be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges to protect the delicate surface.
