FAQs

Overlay glass involves fusing a layer of coloured glass over a clear or contrasting body, which is then cut away to reveal the underlayer in intricate geometric or floral patterns.

These pieces typically combine blown lead crystal or soda-lime glass with sterling silver collars and lids, often featuring hallmarked metalwork.

Authenticity is determined by examining the weight of the hand-cut glass, the presence of silver hallmarks on the cap, and the sharpness of the facets cut through the coloured glass layer.

Placed on a dressing table tray or bathroom counter, these objects add a touch of historic craftsmanship and jewel-toned colour to contemporary spaces.

Clean the glass gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid submerging pieces with fitted metal collars in water to prevent moisture accumulation inside the neck.
