This mid-18th century Georgian sweetmeat dish is a fine example of elegant glassmaking from England. Designed to serve candied fruits or confections, it features a shaped rim with an ogee-shaped bowl, adding to its refined silhouette. The baluster stem, adorned with a single opaque twist, showcases the delicate craftsmanship characteristic of Georgian glassware.
Resting on a ribbed foot with a pontil mark underneath, the dish reflects the skill of early glassmakers in creating both decorative and functional tableware. The subtle yet intricate details, from the twisted stem to the ribbed base, enhance its visual appeal, making it a sought-after collector’s piece.
