This pair of Victorian green wine glasses dates to c1850 and originates from England. Each glass comprises a hand-blown dark green glass construction with a round funnel bowl, a shoulder baluster knop on the stem, a plain lower stem section, and a wide conical foot with a polished pontil. The deep bottle-green colouration is consistent throughout each piece, displaying smooth reflective surfaces, clear glass clarity, and gently rounded rims. Every wine glass stands 16 cm high with a proportional foot diameter and bowl width. Such decorative glassware suits placement on a dining table, a traditional wooden sideboard top, or inside a glazed display cabinet. They function practically for serving wine during formal meals or dinners, while operating as ornamental display pieces in living rooms, dining rooms, or collector cabinets. The classic Victorian styling integrates easily into period room schemes, glass collections, or traditional table settings alongside complementary tableware.

FAQs

Coloured glassware gained significant popularity in mid-nineteenth-century Britain. Green wine glasses, often influenced by German Roemer traditions, were originally designed to mask the cloudiness or sediment inherent in historic white wines while adding decorative interest to formal dinner tables.

Victorian green glassware was hand-blown using lead glass mixed with metallic oxides, specifically copper or iron oxide, to achieve rich green hues. The stems and feet were formed separately by skilled artisans and fused while hot.

Authentic pieces from around 1850 typically show subtle hand-blown variations, slight asymmetry, and a polished or snapped pontil mark on the base. The presence of hand-tooled knopped stems and wear on the foot rim also indicates age.

These historical pieces can be displayed on a dining sideboard, integrated into a formal table setting, or arranged inside a glazed cabinet where light passes through the green glass to showcase the colour.

Wash hand-blown antique glassware by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent. Avoid dishwashers and extreme temperature changes, which can cause thermal shock and crack historical glass.
