Etched Glass

The glass designs illustrated here have either been faithfully copied from victorian originals or are based on them. They are produced using materials and techniques of the period. Our 'etch' type glass are produced using a process originally patented by John Davenport in 1806, where ground glass is fired onto the surface of the glass at high temperature to form an integral part of it and create a frosted appearance.

The process produces a well defined pattern with a slightly raised surface that is light fast and highly scratch resistant.In addition the galss remains relatively clean unlike the later etch and sand blast glasses which tent to collect putty and dirt in their surfaces.
