 Cased Glass




Cased Glass - Ruffled Tri-color,
Bride's Basket, Rose, White & Clear
Cased glass is defined as blown glass consisting of two or more fused layers of different colours. The process consists of introducing a gather of clear glass in a formed coloured glass cup, blowing it out and shaping it in the normal way. A technique well known in the past (a good example is the famous Portland vase, dated between the 1st century AD and the 1st century BC), it became very common in Bohemia and was popular during the last century in England and the USA.

A terrific example of a Ruffled Bride's Basket. The Cased glass effect works well with the ruffled edges. The colours are both bold and sharp.
The basket measures approximately 4 inches in height and at it's widest point measures almost 10 3/4 inches. The foot is 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch high.

Crackle Glass




Crackle Glass
Crackle glass was originally made by the Venetians, but most of the ware found today dates from the 1800s. The crackle effect is produced by briefly submerging the very hot glass into cold water during the glass-forming process.  This causes the outer layer of glass to crack. When the glass is then reheated and expanded (by blowing into the blowpipe) the cracks grow larger. It was made in many factories in the United States and Europe



Crackle Glass,
Vase

This crown inspired vase had been made with the use of a blowpipe, thus when looking or touching the bottom of the vase you will be aware of the pontil mark.

Vase

A rich example of  "End-of-Day glass. Even though most of the options for colours were "what was left over", that did not deter the craftsmen from applying their skills in forming the glass objects. Ribbing has been applied in the mouth of the vase which creates an interesting play of light.
