What is a double series twist?

A double series twist is a glass stem containing two distinct internal twist formations, usually pairing white enamel threads with another spiral element inside clear lead glass. These configurations appeared predominantly during the 18th century and Georgian period, distinguishing themselves from single twist or plain stem variants.

How were these glasses used?

These vessels served for drinking wine, ale, cordials, and champagne at the table or during social gatherings in the Georgian era. Specialised forms like firing glasses were designed for tavern toasts, while sweetmeat glasses held confectionery or preserved fruits.

What bowls do these glasses have?

The listings show a variety of bowl shapes, including trumpet, bell, ogee, ovoid, and tulip profiles. Some bowls feature flute-moulding or rib-moulding, while others carry wheel-engraved decoration such as hop and barley or floral designs.
