Simple Tips For Buying Decorative Glass
The terminology used for art glass is so numerous and perplexing that I threw a ringer right into the title. For instance, mica isn’t glass at all (as most of us learned in science class). Rather, mica’s a mineral that flakes nicely into translucent sheets. Thus many find it ideal for use in making lamp shades, such as the famous “coolie” shades made by Dirk van Erp.
Although you can’t go wrong using the term “art glass” to refer to most kinds of decorative glass in period lighting, windows, doors, or hand-blown vases, there are terms that are much more accurate and specific. Let’s begin with a tough one: figuring out the distinction between stained and leaded glass. In historical European cathedral windows and the like, this stained glass is colored glass that’s been painted with vitreous oxides and fired with or without silver nitrate. These examples of older stained glass are considered to be leaded. For those who have seen these glorious works of art in person, you would easily recognize the lead cames that hold the pieces of the composition in place: that rib-like dark matter seen between the bits of light-filled glass.
These days, things are much simpler. Today, the term “stained glass” is considered to be any window with colored glass. Any clear glass windows that are leaded are simply just called “leaded.”
Colored glass gains its tint from minerals. But remember, not all stained glass is transparent. The term “opalescent” is used for translucent stained glasses. But be careful. Opalescent glass is not transparent but rather milky. Also, this type of glass can have more than one color in a sheet. Tiffany windows are a great example of opalescent glass.
{Another notable example of this is the windows by Greene & Greene, who layered their glass the same way as Tiffany, but they used copper foil and lead overlay to enhance the dimensional quality of their compositions.} Today, the glass made by Greene & Greene is actually a very common glass. It’s iridized on one side, so it has the appearance of a rainbow. Both Frank Lloyd Wright and Tiffany have used the same glass.
In 1894, Tiffany trademarked its version of this shimmering opalescent glass and called it Favrile. This iridescent glass is truly remarkable, as it appears to change colors when viewed from various angles. Although many other companies made their own versions of this iridized glass, no one else used the term Favrile.
Now that we’ve clarified mica, stained glass, leaded glass, opalescent, iridescent, and Favrile, what exactly are slag and slumped? The sheets of opalescent glass used in Arts and Crafts light fixtures is known as slag glass. (The term “slag” refers to the undocumented belief that slag from iron smelting works was added to the glass for color.) The term slumped glass refers to glass that’s been fired in the kiln to make it curve. Some glass artisans will actually climb into the kiln to manipulate the hot glass to their liking. To create glass shades, the hot glass is actually “slumped” over a bowl. With this technique, artisans can achieve effects ranging from delicately folded glass in tulip-like shades to futuristic wild shapes.
