Because these beautiful glasses are so delicate and unique they need to be viewed in person before buying so we only sell them through our shops. Come and visit or call to enquire- LIVERPOOL on 0151 207 1474 option3 or LONDON 0208 578 5788 or browse images in the shop online for an appreciation.

 
In order to guarantee the historical and textural authenticity of our glasses we have sourced them from Germany, France and Eastern Europe the last manufactures to create glass using the traditional mouthblown technique.  

 All these glasses can be incorporated into modern Double Glazed units or we can provide them laminated to standard toughened or float glasses this means the glasses can satisfy current heat, sound and protection requirements.

Types of restoration glass sold

 CLEAR 

 Mouthblown

Full Restoration Glass

Full Restoration glass has more distortion and accurately represents much of the glass made in the 17th and 18th centuries. Approx 2.5mm thick
 

Light Restoration Glass

Light Restoration is the most popular choice. This glass has less distortion with just a little movement, and closely resembles glass found in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Approx 2.5mm thick
  

All glasses (both clear and coloured) are generally available with textures from light air bubbles and little surface distortion to to heavy crackle glazed effects to best replicate any era of glazing.

Machine Drawn

 This glass gives a subtle movement mimicking traditional mouthblown glass. Generally the drawn glass has a surface distortion but no seeds or airbubbles. The images above represent mothblown glasses. the middle image is the best representation of a clear machine drawn glass.
