Description

This is a scarce Georgian, English, double handled jelly glass dating from the second half of the 18th century, c1770.

The glass is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the foot consistent with some 250 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the foot.

The glass has a bell-shaped bowl measuring 7.4 cm (3 inches) in diameter at the upper rim. The bowl is plain and sits directly on a domed foot which measures 6 cm (2.4 inches) in diameter. The glass is 11 cm (4.4 inches) in height and measures 11.8 cm (4. 7 inches) across the extremities of the two applied handles. The handles were first affixed to the top of the bowl and then finished off at the bottom with well made curlicues. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There is some very light water staining to the bowl.

It is made from lead metal weighing 165 g. (~ 6 oz.).

This clear 18th-century Georgian double-handled jelly glass dates from around 1770 and represents traditional English country house glassware. Hand-blown from clear lead glass, it comprises a bell-shaped bowl with a plain body, a flared rim, twin loop handles finished with bottom curlicues, and a domed pedestal base with a rough pontil mark on the underside. The piece shows age-related wear and tear to the rim of the foot along with light water staining to the bowl. It stands 11 cm high and measures 11.8 cm wide. In a contemporary home, this jelly glass works well displayed on a sideboard top as part of a collection of period glassware or decorative tabletop items. Its compact scale allows it to fit neatly within interior display cabinets or on open shelving units, bringing authentic Georgian craftsmanship to a dining room or living space setting.

FAQs

Originating in 18th-century Britain, a jelly glass was designed specifically for serving jelly, syllabub, and cold gelatin-based desserts at formal dining tables. The double-handled form allowed diners to easily hold and pass the glass during multi-course meals.

Georgian jelly glasses were predominantly hand-blown using lead glass, also known as flint glass, which provided clarity, weight, and light refraction compared to standard soda glass.

Look for a pontil mark or smoothed pontil scar on the underside of the foot, subtle asymmetrical hand-blown variations, tiny embedded air bubbles known as seeds, and a greyish hue characteristic of period lead content.

Display this glass on a dining sideboard, inside a glazed cabinet, or as part of a curated display alongside other historic tableware to highlight its silhouette.

Hand wash gently in tepid water using mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoiding thermal shock from hot water that can crack lead glass, and dry immediately with a lint-free towel.
