How do I identify 18th century wine glasses?

Eighteenth century wine glasses typically exhibit heavy lead metal, knopped or air-twist stems, and folded or domed feet reflecting the manufacturing standards of the Georgian period. Closer inspection of the bowl form, whether trumpet, bell or ogee, helps separate early tavern glasses from refined balustroid examples.

What is cranberry glass?

Cranberry glass is a distinctive transparent red glassware produced by adding gold chloride to the molten batch. It gained immense popularity during the Victorian era for decorative tableware. Items range from simple jugs and finger bowls to complex multi-trumpet epergnes.

How should I clean antique glass?

Antique glass requires gentle washing in warm water with mild soap, avoiding harsh scrubbing or abrasive materials that might scratch the soft metal or damage gilt highlights. Items with deep pontil marks or engraved surfaces benefit from air drying on a soft cloth.

What are apothecary carboys?

Apothecary carboys are large glass vessels utilised by chemists and pharmacists to store liquids or display coloured solutions in shop windows. Their generous proportions were shaped by free-blowing techniques. Today they survive as decorative architectural objects prized for their strong silhouettes and rich green or clear metal.
