Welcome to:
ANTIQUE
MERCURY
GLASS!
Mercury or silvered glass
was made in Bohemia, England
and the United States from around
the mid 19th century through the
first
few decades of the 20th century.

Blown double-walled, then silvered
between the layers with a solution
containing silver nitrate and other
materials, the glass was made in
many forms, including vases, goblets,
tableware, figures, lamp reflectors,
and curtain pins.

This site was developed to showcase
beautiful examples to share, and to
promote a better understanding of
the artistic merit of the glass itself!
Thanks for visiting!
