Featured Antique glass with value or garbage?

I was cleaning out my attic and found this glass among old junk. it must be at least 20 years old because the boxes I found these in have been sitting there for so long.



glass is about 19 cm high. from below it is 9 cm in diameter and from above it is 7 cm in diameter. 2 small chips on the top and one on the bottom.



I remember my grandmother had something similar and she got it from her mother..

Is this an antique glass with value or can I throw it in the glass container with peace of mind?

and I would also like to know if that decoration has a special name

 

The decoration is called "air twist".

 

It is definitely old, it dates from around 1750, known as an air twist glass. Almost certainly English, dates to the Georgian period. To date no one has managed to replicate these with enough skill to fool experts. Some writings suggest apprenticeships for making glasses like this (and later opaque twists) took 15 years. They are relatively valuable, and that double twist isn't a common form, but sadly the damage is going to pull it down a lot.

 

wow!!!! That old? thank you for sharing your knowlegde with me, very informatief.
I will definitely look for more info on georgian air twisted glasses. find very interesting

any idea what the value is in this conditition?
can glass be repaired ? and how expensive the repair costs can be?
and what would be the value if it was repaired.

 

Chips can be ground out (bad idea but makes the glass usable for those that want to do so). They can also be filled with clear epoxy, this can be relatively expensive and doesn't really add anything to the value, collectors are very picky. In the UK (where most interest is), in undamaged condition £300-400 in a decent antique shop, as is with the damage probably £50 max unfortunately.

 

Thank you @Ce BCA . I maybe try to sell it as is

 

Me, if I loved it, I VERY DELICATELY, play with a Dremel and a very fine bit to take the rough edge/edges off, but then I'd be keeping it!!!

 

ty @Aquitaine.Unfortunately I am not handy as I would like to be I'm afraid I'll break it instead of fix it

and i know. I'm a champion in not selling.
everything I bought to sell it, I kept for myself anyway

 

Nice greyish glass is a clue, too.

I know someone who actually USES those. It'd scare me silly.

 

I found two others in the boxes and will post pictures tomorrow. I think they are not the same period or perhaps the same period but from a different country or Dutch made glasses

 

Left one is a wine glas the other 2 looks ppssible candlesticks


The bottom of right one

The bottom of middle one


And the bottom of the wine glass any info abouth the age and the origin is very welcome.

 

Those are all modern repro's, some of them are very similar to those made by the guys who came from Stuart Crystal and started Crystal with a Twist in the late 90's.

 

Thank you @Ce BCA. I appreciated! Could it be earlier than 90's? I did not buy them and my mother does not remember she bought them in 90's.

 

I guess it's possible, the 90's was when I started seeing this type of item crop up in the UK. I sold a couple of the CwaT lines for a while when they were popular, usually leftover stock they had (they made for Harrods and other upper end retailers, sold via Dartington (or Doulton) as the distributor if I recall correctly.

 

There's certainly some 70s air twist out there.
