Coloured stemware was all the rage during the Regency era. It came about as a response to the vivid hues of 18th-century polychrome porcelain and led to a series of shades such as Bristol green, blue and amethyst. These wine glasses from the 1830s rest upon flared bases and knop stems, and were hand-blown around the time William IV succeeded his brother, George IV, as King. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
