Overshot glass had its origin in 16th century Venice, and the ability to make this ware eventually spread to Bohemia, Spain and elsewhere in Europe. Sometime prior to 1800, the production of this glass seems to have stopped. The Englishman Apsley Pellatt, owner of the Falcon Glass Works, is credited with reviving this decorative technique around 1845-1850. He acknowledged the origin of the technique by calling his product "Venetian Frosted Glass" or "Anglo-Venetian Glass". Later it would be called by other names, such as Frosted Glassware, ice Glass or Craquelle Glass.

It is important to understand the difference between crackle glass and overshot glass. Two different processes were involved. Crackle glass was produced by dipping a partially blown gob of hot glass in cold water. The sudden temperature change caused fissures or cracks in the glass surface. The gob was then lightly reheated and blown to its full shape. The blowing process enlarged the spaces between fissures to create a labyrinth of channels in varying widths. When cooled in the annealing lehr, the surface of the finished object had a crackled or cracked-ice effect.

Overshot glass was made by rolling a partially or fully inflated gob of hot glass on finely ground shards of glass that had been placed on a steel plate called a marver. The gob was then lightly reheated to remove the sharp edges of the ground glass.

The Art Nouveau era dates to around 1880 - 1910. The style is inspired from the organic forms of nature. Art Nouveau Glass normally consists of curvy lines, stylised flowers and leaves, and often an oily, iridescent finish. The art nouveau style became popular when it was showcased at the World"s Fair in Paris in 1900. Makers of Art Nouveau glass include Bohemian manufacturers Loetz, Kralik, Pallme-König and Rindskopf, French makers Lalique, Baccarat and Daum, Richardsons and John Walsh from the UK, and Tiffany and Dugan from USA.

I recently received a rare invitation to view a collection belonging to a couple that has collected EAPG since 1960.  This couple collects any EAPG that is unusual, interesting, or to add to a pattern that they collect. They literally have 100+ honey dishes, with multiples by both maker, color and size.  They also enjoy water sets, berry sets, unusual novelty pieces, and a some art glass pieces that strike their fancy.

I spent over 5 hours photographing pieces that caught my eye. My personal interest is in vaseline glass, so I tried to photograph as much of that color as I could.  I also took pictures of other historially significant pieces that just are not seen outside of museums or long-term private collections such as what this couple has collected.

One of their favorite patterns is PETTICOAT by Riverside Glass. This pattern was made in clear, clear with gold, vaseline, and vaseline with gold. They have collected multiples in each variety/shape.  I took pictures of some of the more rare pieces, but not all of the pieces they own in this pattern.

MORE RIVERSIDE:  DERBY water set and table set.  The second row is GRASSHOPPER VARIANT with small berry to show size comparison. The ruby flashed sugar bowl is called RIVERSIDE’S RIVERSIDE, aka: RIVERSIDE’S NATIONAL.  It is the only ruby flashed set ever made in vaseline glass.

Some more Jefferson Glass items, both are Swag withBrackets:  A table set in blue with gold decor, and two blue pitchers, one gold decor, the other opalecsent.

There are many terms that come to mind when this next piece (ruby and clear dolphin compote) is seen in person:  “MASSIVE” was one that hit me first.  It was about 14″ tall, and the top diameter of the bowl was at least 12″. The top bowl connects to the clear satin dolphin with an inset hole on the underside of the bowl, and then plaster of paris was used.  The piece had to weigh at least 5-7 pounds. The maker is unknown.  The person who sold it to the owners was told that it could possibly be Baccarat.  The second photo is of a art glass dish that has a center flower that was made by alternating layers of vaseline and cranberry glass.  It appears to be Czechoslovakia, but was unmarked.  The iridized/pulled decoration vase, followed by the Italian covered compote, are also from unknown makers.

The SHIELD & EMBLEM (aka: BULLET-EMBLEM) set is historial glass. Most references list it as a Spanish American War souvenir.  The second photo is a close-up of the butter. There was a note in the sugar bowl that was there from the previous owner, stating that it had taken that owner 35 years to assemble these 4 pieces.  No other shapes have been discovered.

And to end on a high note:  While the collection was spectacular, this final photo takes the collection to a whole different level! As was mentioned earlier, this couple is the most fond of honey dishes.  This is a pair of LACY GOTH ARCH AND HEART rectangular honey dishes WITH UNDERPLATES and with both styles of lids that were made!  The one on the left is the DOMED COVER, the one on the right is the STEPPED COVER.  These were both made by Boston & Sandwich Glass Co., circa 1835-1845.  The matching trays are called LACY HEART TRAY and they are the correct trays for these two dishes.  These are shown in the Barlow & Kaiser series on B&S Glass as illustration #3245 & #3247.  They are also shown in Ruth Webb Lee’s book on Sandwich Glass, plate #168.
