Originally, these acts taxed initially raw materials used for glass making. Glass was at that time sold by weight, and manufacturers responded by producing smaller, more highly decorated objects, often with hollow stems, known today as \"Excise glasses\". The impact of these taxes was that many glassworks had to move their businesses to bordering countries, most frequently to Ireland. In 1780, the government granted Ireland free trade in glass without taxation, resulting in the establishment of glassworks in Cork and Waterford. After the campaigns against those acts, glass tax was shifted in 1811 to all products made from glass, for examples green glass bottles, windows and flint glass. The heavy decorative glass objects and large windows became the symbol of wealth in this time period. This also meant that only the very wealthy could afford green houses and the fruit grown in them. In 1825 the excise on glass were amended again, including raw materials as well as rising the taxation rates on finished glass goods.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGradually the industry declined, until the glass tax was abolished by Sir Robert Peel's government in 1845","published_at":"2023-11-11T06:00:24+10:00","created_at":"2023-11-09T14:50:15+10:00","vendor":"Roundabout Antiques","type":"Bowl","tags":["Antique"],"price":45000,"price_min":45000,"price_max":45000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44299405230308,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"232401371C","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Georgian c.1830 Irish Cut Crystal | Diamond Cut footed bowl","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":45000,"weight":4000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1b.jpg?v=1719443515","\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1c.jpg?v=1719443515","\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1d.jpg?v=1719443515","\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1e.jpg?v=1719443515"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1b.jpg?v=1719443515","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Georgian c.1830 Irish Cut Crystal | Diamond Cut footed bowl","id":60789799715044,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.399,"height":1072,"width":1500,"src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1b.jpg?v=1719443515"},"aspect_ratio":1.399,"height":1072,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1b.jpg?v=1719443515","width":1500},{"alt":"Georgian c.1830 Irish Cut Crystal | Diamond Cut footed bowl","id":60789799747812,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1250,"width":1250,"src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1c.jpg?v=1719443515"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":1250,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1c.jpg?v=1719443515","width":1250},{"alt":"Georgian c.1830 Irish Cut Crystal | Diamond Cut footed bowl","id":60789799780580,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.401,"height":1071,"width":1500,"src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1d.jpg?v=1719443515"},"aspect_ratio":1.401,"height":1071,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1d.jpg?v=1719443515","width":1500},{"alt":"Georgian c.1830 Irish Cut Crystal | Diamond Cut footed bowl","id":60789799813348,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.401,"height":1071,"width":1500,"src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1e.jpg?v=1719443515"},"aspect_ratio":1.401,"height":1071,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.roundaboutantiques.com.au\/cdn\/shop\/files\/georgian_bowl_1e.jpg?v=1719443515","width":1500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"Georgian c.1830 Irish Cut Crystal | Diamond Cut footed bowl of very fine quality, slice pattern to downside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Anglo Irish Cut Crystal footed bowl has all of the qualities of a Belfast or Cork cutters work, and features a pure diamond facetted pattern and a 24 point star facetted base\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccompanying this piece is a letter from \u003cstrong\u003eChristies Auctions in 1979\u003c\/strong\u003e stating that the experts were certain it was of Irish manufacture, circa 1830 and been made in Belfast or Cork [this and the photo submitted are available to the eventual purchaser]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApprox 20cms (8\") diameter\u003cbr\u003eApprox 11cms (4 1\/2\") deep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn excellent condition\u003cbr\u003eSome flint and impurities in glass, commensurate with age\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Georgian Glass | Irish Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Georgian times, England levied a glass tax. The glass tax was introduced in Great Britain in 1746, during the reign of King George II.
