Brief History of Cased Glass: Cased glass, also known as overlay glass or double-layered glass, is a technique that originated in the early 19th century. This glassmaking process involves enclosing one layer of colored glass within a layer of clear or contrasting-colored glass. The result is a visually striking object with a captivating depth and richness of color.

Initially developed in Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic), cased glass quickly gained popularity throughout Europe and beyond. The technique allowed artisans to create elaborate designs, showcasing a wide array of colors and patterns. This newfound popularity led to the spread of cased glass production to various regions, including France, Italy, England, and the United States.

During the Mid-Century Modern era, from the 1940s to the 1960s, cased glass experienced a resurgence in popularity. Its sleek and stylish designs perfectly complemented the modern aesthetics of that time. Artisans and designers embraced the vibrant hues of cased glass, creating decorative and functional pieces like compotes, vases, bowls, and more.
