FAQs

A reverse glass mezzotint, or glass transfer print, is an art form popular in the 18th century where a printed mezzotint impression was transferred onto the back of a glass sheet, chemically treated to leave only the ink, and subsequently hand-coloured.

These artworks were created using hand-blown glass plates, paper mezzotint engravings, turpentine or varnish for transfer, oil pigments or gouache for reverse painting, and wooden moulding frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit characteristics such as hand-blown glass irregularities, slight shrinkage or cracking in the pigment layer beneath the glass, and period-appropriate wooden frames with original backing boards.

Position the piece on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf alongside contemporary ceramics and muted decorative accents to create a balanced, curated contrast.

Dust the outer glass lightly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, keeping the item away from direct sunlight, extreme humidity, and liquid cleaners that could seep into the frame backing.
