A Victorian glass whisky tumbler, produced in England around 1850, provides a functional drinking vessel for a gentleman's library or study. The piece takes the form of a tapered clear glass container with a thick rim and a heavy base showing moulded octagonal facets. Vertical arched flutes adorn the lower body, creating a textured grip and catching the light on a sideboard top. The clear glass construction reveals subtle bubbles trapped within the material from the period manufacturing process. Standing with a height of 10.1cm, a bowl diameter of 8.4cm, and a base diameter of 6.2cm, the tumbler suits daily beverage service or display among collections of antique glassware. The item maintains an excellent condition without chips, cracks, or restoration, retaining its original clarity for contemporary use in the home.

FAQs

Mid-19th-century Victorian glass tumblers typically feature sturdy, heavy bases and geometric cuts or moulded flutes along the lower section. They were designed for utility and durability, serving spirits such as whisky in private residences and public taverns.

Tumblers from this period were primarily constructed from lead glass or soda-lime glass. The pieces were hand-blown into moulds or hand-cut with vertical arched flutes to improve grip and light refraction.

Authentic mid-19th-century glassware often displays slight irregularities in wall thickness, micro-bubbles known as seeds, and minor inclusions within the glass matrix. Natural surface wear on the base contact point and evidence of a ground pontil mark also indicate age.

Antique glass tumblers are frequently arranged on trays, bar carts, or sideboard tops alongside period decanters. Grouping glassware of varying heights creates structural contrast within dining rooms or library settings.

Hand wash historic glass in lukewarm water using a mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to hot water and dishwashers, which cause thermal shock or permanent surface clouding.
