Questions About Old Fashion Glass
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    An old-fashioned glass is usually known as the lowball or the lowball glass, which is a short tumbler-style glass that has a solid base and holds at least six ounces of liquor.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Whether hoop earrings are old-fashioned is a matter of personal opinion. Hoop earrings have been around since 2500 B.C., when African artisans first began producing them out of bronze, silver and gold. The ancient Egyptians would later wear them as well. During the 1920s, hoop earrings became a trend in the United States when the opening of King Tutankhamen's tomb sparked renewed interest in Egyptian jewelry. Since then, hoops have largely remained in style, and today they have become staples of hip-hop, Black and Latina cultures. Shop a large selection of hoop earrings.

    What an old-fashioned writing desk is called varies by design. Pieces with drop-down fronts are secretary desks (these are typically made of two parts: a chest of drawers on the bottom and a hutch or cupboard with shelves on the top), while ones that rest on two pillars, cabinets or bookcases are pedestal desks.

    High-backed old-fashioned chairs are often called wingback chairs. They may not offer structural support, but the wings on antique and vintage wingback chairs certainly do have a purpose or did, when the design was first conceived in England in the 1600s. Back then, the armchair protrusions were meant to protect the sitter from drafts and from the strong heat radiating from the large fireplaces that were popular at the time. This explains why the wingback is so strongly associated with cozying up by the fireplace. Although the functional aspect of a wingback may be obsolete in the 21st century, the chairs have maintained their popularity over the years and have seen waves of revivals. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, vintage and modern wingback chairs from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How old cobalt glass is varies greatly. Ancient Mesopotamian examples exist from roughly 2000 BC. In China, cobalt glass became common during the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted from 1122 to 221 BC.

    To tell how old a pair of glasses is, you can examine it closely and then conduct some research using trusted online resources. If you see a mark that indicates the maker, use the manufacturer as a starting point. Find out when the company was in business and look at catalogues and other references to determine when it produced similar styles. If you can't find a maker, your glasses will likely be from the late 20th century or earlier. In this case, you can research the characteristics of your glasses to get a rough idea of the age. For example, nose pads didn't come into use until the 1920s. Another feature of eyeglasses introduced in the 1920s is positioning the temples at the upper corners of the frames rather than in the middle. If you need help with dating, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of eyeglasses.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To clean an old glass ashtray, fill your sink with warm water and mild dish soap. Place the ashtray in the sink and allow it to soak for a few minutes. Then, wipe with a soft sponge. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage glass ashtrays.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To tell how old a glass lamp is, first look for markings that can help identify the name of the manufacturer. Many makers placed markings or labels on the bulb’s housing or the bases of the lamps they produced. By using trusted online resources, you can determine when the maker was active and estimate the age of the fixture. Certified appraisers can also be of assistance when trying to date lamps. Shop a range of glass lamps on 1stDibs.
