This 19th-century Victorian Continental wine glass comes from the period and is fashioned from clear and red glass. The piece takes the form of a hand-blown clear glass wine goblet featuring a bell bowl with a plain design, a colour twist stem containing red and white spiral twists with ruby-coloured tapes, and a circular flat conical foot showing age-related wear and tear to the rim along with a rough pontil mark on the underside. Measuring 7.3 cm wide and 16 cm in height, the glass weighs 150 g and shows no chips, cracks, significant scratches, or any obvious evidence of restoration. It suits placement on a sideboard top in a dining room or living area for display or use as part of a glassware collection.

FAQs

A colour twist wine glass is a drinking vessel featuring decorative spiral patterns of coloured glass embedded within a clear central stem, a technique refined in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These glasses were hand-blown using clear soda-lime or lead glass, incorporating internal canes of opaque white and coloured glass that were pulled and twisted during the stem-drawing process.

Authentic examples typically feature natural wear patterns on the underside of the foot, subtle irregularities in the hand-drawn stem twists, and appropriate glass density for the period.

Displaying stemware on a sideboard top, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or arranged across a brass bar cart integrates historic pieces effectively into contemporary dining spaces.

Clean stemware by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding automated dishwashers, extreme temperature changes, and abrasive cleaning cloths.
