FAQs

Georgian glassware, produced during the reigns of the Kings George from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by heavy lead metal compositions, deep pontil marks, and intricate stem formations such as air twists and opaque twists.

These pieces were typically hand-blown using lead glass formulae introduced in the late 17th century, utilising techniques like drawing the bowl and stem from a single gather of metal before applying a separate foot.

Authentic pieces exhibit characteristics such as a rough snapped pontil mark on the underside of the foot, minor surface wear consistent with age, small trapped air bubbles within the metal, and a distinct ring when struck.

These items can be displayed within illuminated glass-fronted cabinets, on open shelving units, or utilised as refined tabletop accents to introduce historical texture and craftsmanship into contemporary spaces.

Antique glass should be washed strictly by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive materials, and never placed in a dishwasher.
