Overshot glass is a type of decorative art glass produced during the Victorian era, particularly popular in the late 19th century around 1880, characterised by a textured, icy surface created by rolling hot glass over shards.

These pieces are crafted from blown glass featuring an overshot texture, complemented by hand-engraved frosted details and applied gold leaf gilding on the rims and central bands.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit period-appropriate wear to the gilding, pontil marks on the base indicating hand-blowing techniques, and the characteristic rough, tactile surface texture unique to 19th-century overshot manufacturing.

These decorative vessels can be displayed on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or open shelving to introduce historical texture and metallic accents, contrasting effectively against contemporary minimalist furniture.

Care for antique glass by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoiding immersion in water or the use of chemical cleaning agents to protect delicate surface gilding.
