George 11nd Balustroid Wine Drinking Glass Bell Bowl Knopped Stem, Circa 1740

About the Item

This is a good handblown, English, Georgian, 'Balustroid' wine drinking glass, dating from the middle of the 18th century, George XI period, circa 1740. It is made from English lead glass which is relatively heavy and has a soft grey colour. The glass has the usual striations, inclusions and tiny bubbles you would expect to see in 18th century glass, which gives these glasses their unique charm, with no two glasses being the same. This glass has a well shaped bell bowl which sits on a solid glass stem having a ball shoulder knop and a basal knop above the foot. The stem leads to a good wide conical folded foot having a rough snapped off pontil mark to the underside. Dimensions in Inches: Bowl diameter: 2.38 Foot diameter: 2.82 Height: 5.63 There are no chips, cracks or any evidence of restoration and the glass has a nice ring to it when tapped with a finger.

  • 18th C George 11nd Tall Wine Drinking Glass Solid Stem and Long Tear Domed Foot
    Located in Lincoln, Lincolnshire
    This is a very good, tall, English, mid-Georgian, hand blown, wine drinking glass, dating to the George II period of the mid-18th century, circa 1740. These 18th Century hand blown drinking glasses are uniquely individual and very collectable. This wine glass is hand blown from English lead glass. It is heavy and has a soft grey color, with some age related wear to the surface and foot rim as expected with well over 250 years of use. The glass has the usual striations, inclusions and tiny bubbles you would expect to see in 18th century glass, which gives these glasses their unique charm, with no two glasses being the same. The glass has a beautifully drawn round funnel (RF) bowl which continues into a thick solid stem enclosing a very decorative long tear and leading to a good domed foot having a rough snapped-off pontil mark to the underside. The "domed" foot tends to be a much rarer foot form. There are no chips, cracks or any evidence of restoration though the glass does have some scratches from use to the underside of the foot. Please see images. Dimensions: Bowl rim diameter: 2.1 inches. Foot diameter: 2.96 inches. Height: 6.82 inches. The glass has a good ring to it when tapped with a finger. We date this glass to the George II period of the 18th century, circa 1740. Similar glasses from the same period are shown in the book: Eighteenth Century English Drinking Glasses...
