Description from the seller
English antique wine glass – Newcastle baluster, circa 1750
A special and early English wine glass, dating from around 1750, executed in the so-called Newcastle baluster style. This type of glass belongs to the classic forms of the 18th century and is valued for its elegant and characteristic construction.
The glass features a sturdy baluster-shaped stem, typical of Newcastle production, and a refined bowl that is adorned along the rim with an engraved decoration. This subtle engraving gives the glass an extra dimension and testifies to the artisanal craftsmanship of the period.
With a height of about 19 cm, the glass presents a slim and balanced appearance. Such glasses were used at formal occasions and today form a beloved collectible within antique glassware.
An elegant and rarer piece that reflects the refined table culture of 18th-century England.
