Questions About French Mercury Glass
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    Mercury glass, often known as "silvered glass," is an antique decorative art glass made by glassmakers in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic), England and America from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. These are blown glass artworks with hollow interiors, the majority of which are double-walled.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Mercury glass is blown, silvered and then painted with artistic designs. It brings an essence of vintage charm to the aesthetic, perfect for pieces like Christmas ornaments. Shop a range of antique and vintage mercury glass Christmas ornaments on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if mercury glass is real, look for double glass walls that have a silvering solution poured in between to create a mottled effect. Shop a large collection of Mercury glass items from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    French opaline glass was made in France between 1810 and 1890 and has a white finish that resembles milk glass. The first colors made were turquoise, yellow and pink, but as the period progressed they made brighter colors in an effort to imitate Bohemian glass. Find a collection of expertly vetted French opaline glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To identify French opaline glass, hold it up to a light source. Genuine opaline glass should appear translucent and take on a pink or red tint. Also, turn the piece over. Because opaline glass is hand-blown, you should see a small circular point at the center of the base. If you're still not certain about the identification, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you. Find a range of opaline glass on 1stDibs.
