Comments

Overshot glass was made during the Victorian era in many different locations, including England, Europe and the USA where Boston & Sandwich made some outstanding decorative and functional pieces. It is created by rolling the hot glass in tiny pieces of broken glass and then reheated to remove the sharp edges producing a very rustic look and feel.

One of a number of superb examples from the amazing glass collection of John and Poppy Stallebrass.

Overshot glass is a type of art glass created by rolling a hot glass vessel through fine shards or threads of crushed glass before reheating and shaping. This technique gained significant popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by prominent French and American glasshouses.

These pieces are crafted from lead crystal or soda-lime glass, often featuring applied handles formed from clear glass threads. Artisans used traditional free-blowing and mould-blowing techniques alongside the signature overshot texturing process.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate pontil marks on the base, distinct weight from lead content, and precise craftsmanship. Many works from this era also bore acid-etched signatures or paper labels, though these often wore off over time.

An antique glass vessel adds organic texture and subtle colour when placed on open shelving, sideboards, or windowsills where natural light can pass through the body. It works effectively as a standalone decorative object or as a rustic vase for fresh stems.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and never place delicate period glassware in a dishwasher.
