FAQs

Victorian cranberry glass is a type of translucent pinkish-red glassware created by adding gold chloride to molten glass, which became immensely popular during the late 19th century.

Overshot glass was produced by rolling a hot glass vessel over fragments of crushed glass or applying fine threads of glass to the surface before reheating and shaping, creating a textured, frosted finish.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-finished pontil marks on the base, minor irregularities consistent with mouth-blowing, and distinct weight and colour saturation characteristic of 19th-century chemical formulations.

Place coloured glass items near natural light sources such as windowsills or open shelving to accentuate their translucent qualities and vibrant colour hues.

Wash antique glass gently by hand using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing, sudden temperature changes, and dishwashers to protect the delicate surface texture.
