Were these goblets used for wine?

Historical drinking vessels served various beverages depending on their capacity and form, ranging from port and dessert wine to ale and punch. Rummers specifically accommodated larger portions of beer or spirits during social gatherings. Smaller cordials and dram glasses suited potent liquors, while specialised wine and hook glasses catered to dining table service. Many survived as matched sets intended for formal entertaining.

What is a lemon squeezer foot?

A lemon squeezer foot is a heavy, moulded square base with distinctive inward-sloping panels beneath the stem. This design appeared frequently on Georgian and Regency rummers, particularly those produced in Ireland and England. The pressed square form added stability to large drinking vessels while providing an additional decorative element that reflected light.

How should I clean antique glass?

Antique glass requires gentle hand washing in warm water with mild detergent rather than machine washing. Extreme temperature shifts should be avoided to prevent thermal shock to the material. Soft cloths prevent scratching on delicate surfaces, particularly on pieces featuring surface gilding or acid-cut decoration. Storing them upright on stable shelving protects rims and stems from chipping.
