FAQs

An opaque twist wine glass is a type of drinking vessel produced in England during the mid-18th century, characterised by white or coloured enamel glass twists enclosed within the stem.

These glasses were traditionally hand-blown using lead metal glass, which offered high clarity, weight, and resonance, combined with opaque white glass canes for the stem decoration.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the underside of the foot, surface wear consistent with age, minor inclusions within the metal, and hand-drawn stems rather than machine moulding.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, styled on open shelving as part of a curated vignette, or utilized carefully for special dining occasions to add historical texture.

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