Product Description:

Weighing in at only around 135 g, just under 11 cms tall and 5 cm wide a cross the bowl, this is a pleasure to hold and look at. The heavy thick base of around 4 cm gives a nice pull on the hand as you hold the glass and stabilises it well when picking it up. A lovely smoky coloured glass (lead), with all the signs of manufacture from a couple of centuries ago.

Striation marks can be seen on the glass (photos) along with various air bubbles, glass seed / grit, engrained dirt etc. from moulding and shaping.

The stem has been facet-cut which is stunning, especially in the natural light. Thick and solid, along with a nice ‘ping’ when tapped.

Makers Mark /Identifying Features: n/a

Estimated Age: Georgian era, 18th Century to be confirmed

Condition: Clean and excellent condition. Beautifully facet-cut stem and general manufacturing imperfections wrapped up in a very nice looking glass. Nice wear marks can be seen on the base underside of the rim on close inspection, which confirms the age and use over the years.

Due to the nature of how these products have been made, tool marks may occasionally be apparent, as are small air bubbles, very minor blemishes. Some items may vary in weight or thickness as well, therefore any sizes/capacity/weights given are approximate.

Please keep in mind that our items are most often vintage or antique, sometimes many decades or even a century or two old, so they will show some signs of wear and usage. These are not mint items from the factory (unless we specifically say so). We include in our item condition and pictures any issues that are significant, however cannot cover every single condition possibility with photos and hence the following grading has been given to each item.
