Cloud Glass from
The Glass Encyclopedia
A short explanation of Cloud Glass:In 1922 Davidson's Glassworks in Gateshead, in the North East of England, invented a kind of glass with streaks like clouds, which they aptly named "Cloud Glass" (pictured left). It was very popular in the 1920's and 30's.
Cloud Glass was heavy pressed coloured glass with a small amount of darker glass added at the last minute to the molten glass to produce cloud-like streaks. Each piece was hand finished and had its own unique pattern in the glass. It was made in a wide range of geometric, art deco-style shapes in amber, brown, purple, blue, green, orange, & (rarely) in red & grey.
Cloud Glass has become highly collectible and there have been a number of exhibitions and displays in the UK devoted to Cloud Glass.
