Reverse Rubina Verde is a type of art glass popular during the late Victorian era, typically characterised by a colour transition that reverses the traditional Rubina Verde effect, shading from green at the rim to pink or amber at the base.

These pieces were crafted from silica-based glass melted with metallic oxides to create the distinctive shaded colours, often hand-blown into moulds to achieve optic ribbed or panelled body designs with applied glass handles.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit genuine age-related wear on the polished pontil mark at the base, hand-finished details such as applied handles, and characteristic colour gradients achieved through complex thermal manipulation.

Display the vessel on an open shelf, mantelpiece, or windowsill where natural light can pass through the shaded glass to highlight its vibrant gradient and tactile moulded texture.

Wash the item gently by hand in lukewarm water using a mild, non-abrasive detergent, and dry thoroughly with a soft lint-free cloth to protect the delicate antique surface and applied handle.
