FAQs

Mercury glass, also known as silvered glass, is a type of double-walled blown glass that was coated on the inside with a silvering solution, popularised during the mid-19th century in Europe.

These items are typically crafted from double-walled, blow-moulded soda-lime glass featuring a small pontil mark at the base, internally coated with a silver-nitrate or similar reflective compound before being sealed.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic signs of age such as uneven silvering, slight imperfections within the glass matrix, oxidisation spots, and a polished pontil mark on the underside.

They can be displayed on a mantlepiece or dining table to add a subtle metallic sheen and textural contrast, pairing well with both neutral contemporary spaces and eclectic schemes.

Maintenance requires gentle dusting with a soft, dry cloth. Due to the delicate nature of the interior silvering, the base seals must never be submerged in water or cleaned with harsh chemicals.
