- Regency Period - The Regency period in English furniture design refers to the period when King George III, was declared unfit to rule in 1811, and his son ruled as proxy as Prince Regent, until 1820, and then, after the death of his father as George IV until his death in 1830. The Regency period was preceded by the Georgian period (George I, George II, and George III: 1714 - 1811), and was followed by the William IV period, which only lasted until 1837 when William IV died as was succeeded by Queen Victoria.
- Air Twist - An air twist is a decorative feature found on some types of glassware, including Georgian drinking glasses. It is created by twisting the glass while it is being blown, which creates a spiral pattern of ridges or rings around the stem of the glass. The air twist is typically made by a skilled glassblower using a hot glass rod to shape the glass. It is a decorative feature that adds visual interest to the glass. Georgian glassware is known for its high quality and intricate design, and the air twist is just one of the many decorative elements that may be found on Georgian drinking glasses.
