Custard Glass

A custard glass is a small glass that is used to serve desserts. It is made of opaque glass in brilliant yellow or light green. The glass was dubbed ivory glass by the manufacturers, but custard glass by collectors. Ivory glass is not a new variety of glass; it has been used for approximately 3,000 years. After some years, the formulaic color was forgotten, and it was reintroduced as a new hue in Bomehia in 1870, where it quickly spread throughout the United Kingdom and the United States. Later, in the sixteenth century, the Chinese invented the dark yellow color in porcelain, which was only used by royal houses at the period.

Custard glass received its yellow color from different quantities of uranium oxide added to the molten glass mixture throughout the manufacturing process. Custard glass also ranges in appearance from huge and heavy and dark to neater with a little transparency. Custard glass has been manufactured numerous times over the years, but it remains exceedingly precious. There are various custard glass duplicates.

Custard glass has a strong following in the traditional and online auction industry for several convincing reasons. Its vintage appeal and distinct colour make it an appealing choice for antique glassware enthusiasts. Custard glass is distinguished by its delicate and detailed patterns, which frequently include motifs like as flowers, animals, or geometric designs. These useful and decorative pieces evoke nostalgia and capture the elegance of a bygone period.
