A set of eleven fine flash coloured and cut hock glasses circa 1930.
Flash-coloured glass, a vibrant form of glassware, was first produced in the 19th century. It involves a layering technique where a thin layer of coloured glass is fused over a clear base, creating a striking contrast. This innovation was widely used in decorative glass and was especially popular during the Victorian era.
The flash glass process was commonly employed in creating ornaments, drinking glasses, and decorative pieces, with colours such as red, blue, and amber. Its appeal was largely due to its cost-effectiveness, as it offered the rich appearance of coloured glass without the expense of fully coloured glass pieces.
