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.
