FAQs

Ruby overlay glass, also termed flashed or casing glass, refers to glass produced by fusing a layer of ruby-coloured glass onto a clear glass base. The technique gained widespread popularity in Britain and Europe during the Victorian era, particularly between 1850 and 1890, for decorative table glass and goblets.

Victorian glassmakers created overlay glass by gathering clear lead crystal and dipping or casing it in a molten layer of coloured glass, often tinted using copper or gold salts. Once cooled, artisan glass cutters used copper wheels to carve decorative patterns through the red layer, revealing the transparent crystal underneath.

Authentic 19th-century pieces usually exhibit slight variations in hand-cut facets, pontil marks or star-cut bases, and heavy lead crystal weight. The wheel-engraved motifs typically depict period-appropriate patterns such as grapevines, leaves, or geometric cuts, showing microscopic wear on the foot rim.

Coloured glassware can be displayed on illuminated glass shelves, sideboards, or dressed dining tables where light can pass through the cut sections. Grouping ruby glass with complementary period glass or clear crystal creates visual contrast within modern or traditional display cabinets.

Hand wash antique glassware individually in lukewarm water using a mild liquid soap and a non-abrasive soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers and extreme temperature changes, which cause thermal shock, and dry thoroughly with a lint-free towel.
