This eighteenth-century Georgian sugar bowl takes the form of an English country house pedestal piece in clear and cobalt glass. The rounded glass body displays a reticulated honeycomb moulded texture, finished with an applied blue band around the rim. A squat, knapped stem connects the bowl to a lightly domed pedestal foot, featuring a broken pontil mark in the centre, ash deposits in the glass, and minor striations from manufacture. Measuring 9 cm high, 9 cm wide, and 9 cm deep, the bowl serves as both a decorative accent and a functional container. Placed atop a sideboard or display table, this piece provides an authentic period touch for traditional domestic interiors. The clear body captures light while the cobalt rim supplies a distinct colour contrast, suiting formal dining rooms or living spaces curated with antique glassware. Collectors of eighteenth-century tableware will find the manufacturing characteristics and undamaged condition of interest for display alongside similar period items.

FAQs

During the 18th century, glassmakers frequently added applied coloured rims, particularly cobalt blue, to distinguish fine tableware and sugar vessels produced in regional glassworks.

These vessels were free-blown or pattern-moulded from lead or soda glass, with an applied coloured glass rim attached while the main body was hot before being fused to a knapped stem and flat foot.

Authentic pieces typically feature a pontil mark on the base, minor air bubbles or seeds within the glass fabric, and natural surface wear on the rim of the foot.

Antique glass bowls function as decorative objects on sideboards, dining tables, or open kitchen shelving, catching natural light while adding subtle historical context to modern settings.

Hand-wash gently in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.
