Bohemian Glass Information
Bohemian Coloured Glass
One of the most famous colours to be developed was ruby glass, created by the addition of gold chloride. The use of ultramarine in glassmaking during the early 19th century produced shades from very pale blue to almost black. Many different colours were discovered during the 1820s and 1830s including violet, pink and new shades of green and blue. Unusual new colours were transparent yellow-green and green-yellow produced by adding small quantities of uranium to the batch. Uranium was also used to produce an opaque apple-green glass known as chrysoprase. Silver chloride was used to produce a yellow stain and an agate-like effect called Lithyalin.
Bohemian glassmaker’s techniques
The techniques used in the 19th century by Bohemian glassmakers to colour glass were:
-The addition of a metal oxide to a batch of glass
-Casing or overlay, where a clear body was covered with a coloured outer layer, giving a good double surface for cutting
-Covering the clear body with a thin layer of colour
Bohemian glass fact
Traditionally the making of engraved glass has been a Bohemian specialty, with vessels sculpturally cut in relief or engraved in intaglio, or a richly-wrought combination of both.
