FAQs

A firing glass is a small, heavy-based drinking glass from the 18th century, traditionally used in taverns and gentlemens clubs where toasts were slammed on wooden tables to create a sound resembling a cannon shot.

These glasses are typically crafted from lead glass, featuring a thick, flattened foot designed to withstand repeated impact, and frequently incorporate complex stem formations such as air twists or opaque white enamel twists.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate manufacturing characteristics such as pontil marks on the base, surface wear consistent with age, minor inclusions within the lead metal, and the characteristic heavy foot.

Antique stemware can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, utilized on open shelving as part of a curated vignette, or integrated carefully into modern tablescapes for entertaining.

Antique glass should be washed strictly by hand in lukewarm water using mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing, abrasive materials, and sudden temperature shifts to protect the fragile historic material.
