Description from the seller
Extraordinary set of ancient Georgiani flutes (18th century) - perfect condition
Admire the timeless grace and elegance of this magnificent set of champagne glasses in glass, dating from the Georgian period (18th century), probably originating from the United Kingdom (England or Ireland).
Detailed Description for Sale
Country of Origin: United Kingdom (England or Ireland).
Era: 18th century (Georgian period).
Condition: Exceptional. It shows no chips, cracks, or restorations, an extraordinary detail given its age. The photos attest to its perfect integrity and minimal wear consistent with the piece's antiquity.
Material: high-quality blown glass/crystal (lead), typical of the Anglo-Irish production of the period.
Design Features
These flutes (or tall glasses) embody the refined style of the Georgian period, characterized by a balanced aesthetic and superb handcrafted craftsmanship.
Cup: It features an elongated, conical shape, typical of the early design of champagne and sparkling wine glasses. The distinctive element is the ribbed or vertical grooved craftsmanship (known as fluting or ribbing), radiating from the base of the cup, adding a magnificent play of light and a tactile sensation. The view from above (as in one of the images) reveals its complex and fascinating crafted base.
Stem: The stem is short and slender, characterized by one or more bulbous worked nodes (baluster stem), serving as an elegant transitional element between the cup and the foot.
Foot: The foot is wide and stable, conical or slightly bulging, essential for balancing the height of the glass.
These are not just simple glasses, but true objects of art that testify to the glassmaking mastery of the 18th century. They are ideal for collectors of antique glassware, lovers of historical luxury, or anyone seeking a table set of inestimable value and striking visual impact.
I would be happy to conduct further research on any specific details or brands that might be visible for an even more precise dating.
