Ten Large Antique Champagne Flutes Hand-Blown Glass England 18th Century c-1760

About the Item

Cheers to welcoming friends! This is a beautiful set of ten clear large (8.5inches tall) English mid-18th century clear champagne flutes (even though in the main image the glass does not appear clear, that is due to the photoshopping. The glasses are clear glass, see the other photos.) The funnel-shaped bowls are set upon a tubular stem rising from a circular foot. A pontil mark is on the bottom of the foot (see images). The mark is the scar where the pontil was broken from the hand-blown glass. This indicates that the glass was blown freehand as it was in the 18th century.                            Dimensions: 8.5 inches tall x 3.75 inches diameter at base and top Condition: Excellent Price: $1,900. Background of the Champagne Flute: The champagne flute was developed along with other wine stemware in the early 1700s as the preferred shape for sparkling wine as materials for drinking vessels shifted from metal and ceramic to glassware. In the 18th century, the well-appointed English home included stemware made in England which produced fine glass known as "Flint" glass. Perhaps the family's collection would have included glass champagne flutes. This English glass was acclaimed in Europe for its clarity and beauty. It tended to be slightly heavier than other European glass and sought to imitate rock crystal which is why we now use the word "crystal" for fine glassware.

  • Blue and White Delft Dish Hand-Painted 18th Century, England, Circa 1760
    Located in Katonah, NY
    This Delft blue and white dish was hand-painted in England in the 18th century circa 1760. The painting is quite naive but eye-catching. In the center, we see a large blue ground before three homes, each with a chimney. To the left, we see a large peony, and to the right, a pine tree. The wide border shows six flower buds on the vine, and along the edge are scrolling vines. Dimensions: 9.25" diameter Condition: Excellent Price: $560 Background of English Delft: The art of making Delft began in England in the Mid-1500s. An English delftware jug has been found in East Malling, Kent, with a silver mount hallmarked 1550, which is presumed to be the earliest date of English delftware manufacture. John Stow's Survey of London (1598) records the arrival in 1567 of two Antwerp potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen...
