FAQs

Overshot glass is a decorative technique popular in the nineteenth century, characterised by rolling a hot glass vessel over fine threads of glass to create a textured, icy surface finish.

These pieces were hand-blown using traditional glassmaking methods, where molten glass was gathered, shaped, and rolled over crushed glass fragments or fine threads before being fire-polished.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit pontil marks on the base from hand-blowing, irregular hand-applied handles, and characteristic surface texture variations that differ from twentieth-century mould-pressed reproductions.

Vintage glass vessels can be displayed on open shelving, used as functional vases for seasonal foliage, or grouped on sideboards to introduce reflective texture and historical interest into contemporary spaces.

Antique glass should be washed by hand using warm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing tools, abrasive chemicals, and sudden temperature changes to protect the delicate surface structure.
