Exhibit Antiques has dated these Georgian Blue Wine Glasses to the Georgian era.
A fine pair of Georgian emerald blue wine glasses dating to c1820.
Coloured drinking glasses became increasingly fashionable during the late Georgian and Regency periods, with rich greens, blues and amethyst shades providing a striking contrast to the clear glass which had dominated much of the 18th century. By the early 19th century improvements in glassmaking and colouring techniques allowed these strong colours to be produced more consistently, and coloured glasses became an increasingly decorative feature of the dining table.
