Georgian Petal Moulded Glass Rummer – English c.1830
£ 65.00
On offer is a beautiful and rare early 19th-century English Georgian petal moulded glass rummer, dating to approximately circa 1830. This elegant example of Georgian drinking glassware features classic design elements of the period and is a desirable collector’s item for enthusiasts of early English glass.
The rummer is finely crafted with a distinctive petal-moulded bowl, where the fluted vertical ridges create a floral-like effect when viewed from above. The stem is short and solid, joining to a slightly domed foot that bears a snapped pontil mark, confirming its hand-blown origin. The sharpness of the pontil indicates it has not been ground or smoothed—an important feature in authentic early 19th-century glassware.
Standing approximately 5.25 inches (13.3 cm) tall, this rummer remains in very good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. It displays minimal wear, consistent with age, and has a pleasing clarity that makes it suitable for both display and occasional use.

About Georgian Glass Rummers:
During the Georgian period (1714–1837), rummers were popular for serving wine, punch, and other spirits, especially in taverns, country houses, and gentlemen’s clubs.
