COLOURED FLASH GLASS

Flashed glass has a thin skin of red or blue glass over clear glass.

A stencil can be applied with a pattern cut out - sandblasting away the coloured layer reveals a white frost pattern. This techniques is used extensively in Victorian door surrounds and sidelights.

flashed glass is manufactured by a mouth blown technique and is still being made in France and Germany. This mouth blown glass can vary in its depth of colour across the sheet and may have some small bubbles throughout and is generally quite transparent.
