We have customers from Aberden to Adelaide waiting for the day when we have an 18th century canary yellow opaque twist for sale. During 14 years we have only had two German examples. We have seen a complete set of twelve Georgian yellow colour twists with bell bowls but he collector in question is still using them for the time being. The last period canary yellow wine glass to come onto the market realised over £8000 at auction and is with a customer in Devon.

They are truly beautiful glasses and those we have commissioned from Mike Hunter are without doubt antiques of the future and will adorn any collection.
