A rummer is a capacious drinking glass designed for heavy spirits and punch, featuring a short, thick stem and a stable foot. These glasses were built for everyday hospitality during the Georgian and Regency periods, offering substantial weight in the hand.

How do I use old decanters?

Antique decanters can still hold wine and spirits for the table, provided you check them for soundness and wash them gently by hand. Avoid extreme temperature changes to protect the old lead glass from thermal shock.

What distinguishes Regency glass?

Regency glass often exhibits sharp, geometric cut patterns such as blaze cuts and three neck rings on decanters. The metal tends to be heavy lead crystal with brilliant clarity and crisp facet work.

Are stoppers original?

Original stoppers were ground to fit the individual neck of each decanter during manufacture. Matching numbers or identical wear patterns help confirm that the stopper has stayed with its vessel over the centuries.
