FAQs

A Victorian glass epergne is an ornate table centrepiece designed primarily to hold fresh flowers or sweetmeats, featuring a central bowl with protruding horn-shaped trumpets or branches.

These centrepieces were crafted from hand-blown lead glass coloured with gold chloride to achieve the distinct pink to deep red hue, assembled with brass or silver-plated metal armatures.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-blown characteristics such as pontil marks on the base, minor asymmetry in the frilled rims, hand-applied trailing, and brass screw fitments displaying natural patina.

An epergne serves as a focal point on a formal dining table, a sideboard, or a marble mantelpiece, displayed either empty as art glass or arranged with delicate floral stems.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent, avoiding dishwasher use or extreme temperature fluctuations that can cause thermal shock and crack hand-blown glass.
