Were these items used daily?

Many glass items served practical domestic functions, including perfume storage, serving drinks from decanters, and illuminating rooms with wall lights. Others functioned purely as decorative centerpieces or mirrors within domestic interiors.

What metal is paired with the glass?

Chromium plating and polished brass appear frequently as structural mounts, handles, and frames alongside the glass bodies. Silver plate and sterling silver are also found on dressing table jars and cocktail accessories.

How do I care for my glass?

Clean glass surfaces gently using lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding harsh abrasives that might damage enamel or metal mounts. Inspect metal fittings periodically to ensure secure attachment to the glass components.
