The Vintage List
Classic engraved glassware
Founded in 2015 by a London-based couple, The Vintage List began with a simple idea - to recreate the beautiful glassware often discovered in antique markets, but in a form suited to modern living. Each design draws from 19th and early 20th century English patterns, carefully adapted to feel fresh and relevant today.
The result is a collection that pairs effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary table settings, bringing a sense of occasion to even the simplest meal.
The process
Artisan Crafted
The Vintage List glassware is crafted entirely by hand using a method that has not changed much in the last 500 years.
- Each glob of molten glass is taken from the furnace on a long blow pipe. This must be kept moving or it will set.
- The glass blower then blows down the pipe into a wooden mold to create the shape of the glass. Their stemware is made from two pieces. The stem is created separately and then attached to the bowl.
- As the glass is created, it comes with a ‘hat’ which needs to be cut off. It is then cooled and annealed.
- The last step is for the glassware to be engraved. The glasses are inked so that the engravers know where to cut. Each glass is engraved by hand on a fast-turning wheel. The middle of the wheel is sharpened so that when the glass is pressed against it, the pattern is created. The lens pattern involves two processes, first cutting, and then polishing.
