Description

A superb mid 18th Century air twist wine glass. A large Ogee bowl with rare nut and rib moulding to the lower bowl. Sits on a single series air twist stem consisting of a spiral air cable. Large conical foot with snapped pontil.

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE GEORGIAN ERA:
Rough snapped pontil scar beneath the foot: hand tooling before polished pontils became common.
Internal spiral air twist stem: formed by trapping and drawing air pockets in molten glass.
Moulded honeycomb fluting around the lower bowl: pattern created using an open dip mould.
Conical foot wider than the bowl rim: ensures traditional stability and proportion.
Fine circular wear beneath the foot rim: friction from standing on hard surfaces over time.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

This Georgian lead glass wine glass from c1750 exhibits a clear finish with a moulded ogee bowl above a single series air twist stem and a conical foot. Visible details include the nut and rib moulding on the lower bowl, the spiral air cable within the stem, and a snapped pontil beneath the foot. The piece stands 16.8 cm in height with a 6.6 cm rim diameter and an 8.1 cm foot diameter. Placed on a sideboard top, this drinking vessel adds historical character to a gentleman's library or dining room setting. It serves as a display piece or a functional glass for traditional entertaining in the home.

An air twist wine glass is an 18th-century stemware form where controlled air bubbles were drawn out and twisted during manufacturing to create decorative internal spiral patterns within the clear glass stem.

Craftsmen manipulated molten lead glass by pricking air pockets into a gather of glass before drawing and twisting it into a stem, which was then joined to a mouth-blown bowl and hand-shaped foot.

Authentic Georgian examples typically feature a tool-marked or folded foot rim, a rough pontil mark underneath, subtle hand-blown irregularities, and characteristic heavy lead glass metal weight.

Displaying antique glassware in open glazed cabinets or styled atop a dining sideboard allows ambient light to pass through the stemwork, highlighting the hand-crafted internal twist details.

Wash antique stemware individually by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding dishwashers, sudden temperature shifts, and abrasive cleaning cloths.
