Set of Eight Georgian Hand-Blown Wine Glasses, Circa 1800
6550
A matched set of eight Georgian hand-blown wine glasses, dating to circa 1800. Elegant in their simplicity, each glass has been individually formed by hand, retaining the subtle variations in proportion and surface that give early glassware its unmistakable character and charm.
The glasses display the refined, balanced silhouette associated with the late Georgian period: generous bowls for wine, slender stems, and neatly finished feet. Their hand-blown construction brings a gentle softness to the glass, with the occasional tiny bubble, ripple, or variation in thickness serving as a reminder of the skill and individuality of their making. These are not factory-made reproductions, but authentic early glasses with the warmth and presence that only time and hand craftsmanship can provide.
A set of eight is increasingly difficult to find, particularly where the glasses have been selected to sit together so harmoniously. Whether arranged on a dining table for a formal dinner, displayed in a cabinet, or incorporated into a collection of English table glass, they bring an understated sense of history and elegance to any setting.
A beautifully matched and highly usable group, offering both decorative appeal and a tangible connection to Georgian entertaining at the turn of the 19th century.
