FAQs

A cruciform bottle is a style of glass vessel produced primarily during the early 18th century, characterised by a distinctive four-sided or cross-shaped base profile that provided stability during transport and storage.

These vessels were typically mouth-blown using free-blown or dip-moulded techniques, often utilising potash-lime or early lead glass formulations common in English glasshouses of the period.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-finished characteristics such as pontil marks on the base, irregular surface bubbles, striations in the metal, and wear consistent with age and handling.

Antique glass bottles can be displayed singly on shelves or windowsills to catch natural light, or grouped as a curated collection on a sideboard or mantelpiece to add historic texture.

Antique glass should be washed gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature changes to protect the fragile historic material.
