Mercury Glass Info
Mercury glass is glass that has a silvery
appearance. Mercury glass actually contains no mercury, although there were at
one point, several manufacturers who attempted to line glass with mercury. This
procedure was short lived due to both the toxic nature of mercury as well as
its expense, but may account for the name. Please Note: Mercury glass is
neither uniform nor is it meant to look uniform in its patterns/appearance. There
is an inconsistency in the coverage of silver. This is the way mercury glass is
intended to be. Therefore, the silver lining will be thicker in some areas and
thinner in others, with all sorts of interesting patterns that emerge from when
the silver is applied.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for looking!
Have a wonderful day!!
