Description

This is a small Georgian, wrythen-moulded tumbler or beaker dating from the mid to late 18th century, c1770, and probably used for port or similar heavy wine as the wrythening would have partially obscured the sediment.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows the age related wear and tear to both the rim of the bowl and to the rim of the base consistent with some 250 years of use.

The glass has a bucket-shaped bowl measuring 5.7 cm (2.3 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl is tightly wrythen-moulded. The heavily kicked-in base which measures 4.2 cm (1.7 inches) in diameter carries a rough pontil mark. The glass is 7 cm (2.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.

It weighs in at 75 g. (~ 2 1/2 oz.).

FAQs

Georgian glassware encompasses items produced during the reigns of the four British monarchs named George, spanning from 1714 to 1830, characterised by developments in lead glass composition and distinct vessel forms influenced by contemporary taxation laws.

Georgian glass typically utilized high-lead flint glass, known for its brilliance and weight, and was shaped using free-blowing, mould-blowing, and intricate optical moulding techniques like wrythen patterns.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic pontil marks on the base, minor surface irregularities, wear consistent with age, and a heavier feel due to high lead content compared to modern soda-lime glass.

Antique glassware can be displayed open on open shelving, integrated into modern dining tables for everyday use with care, or highlighted within illuminated glass-fronted cabinets to add historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes and abrasive sponges, and dried carefully with a lint-free cloth.
