There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is an old collector's sticker on the underside of the foot.

FAQs

Opaque twist glasses date predominantly to the mid-18th century during the Georgian era, characterised by white or coloured enamel glass threads encased within the stem.

These pieces were handcrafted from lead glass using complex glassblowing techniques, combining clear metal for the bowl and foot with drawn twist canes in the stem.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the weight of the lead metal, pontil marks on the underside of the foot, wear consistent with age, and the precise formation of the internal enamel threads.

Displaying antique stemware within illuminated glass cabinets, on open shelving, or as part of a curated tablescape introduces texture, history, and refined elegance to modern spaces.

Historic glass should be washed exclusively by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, dried with a lint-free cloth, and kept away from extreme temperature fluctuations.
