Art glass is a subset of glass art, this latter covering the whole range of art made from glass. Art glass normally refers only to pieces made since the mid 19th Century, and typically to those purely made as sculpture or decorative art, with no main utilitarian function, such as serving as a drinking vessel, though of course stained glass keeps the weather out, and bowls may still be useful. The term is most used for American glass, where the style developed from the burgeoning American demand for novelty during the 19th Century and was characterized by elaborate form and exotic finish. It was not always the highest quality of execution, which gradually became a feature rather than an issue of the form. There was a great interest in complex color effects and painted enameled glass, and for some art historians the phrase “art glass” phase replaced the “Brilliant Period” of High Victorian heavy decoration. This was in turn replaced around 1900 by Art Nouveau glass, but the term may still be used for marketing purposes to refer to contemporary products, since the Brilliant Period style, which relied on deeply cut glass, continued to be made until about 1915 in England, and sometimes thereafter elsewhere. Art glass techniques include glass that has been placed into a kiln so that it will mold into a shape, glassblowing, sandblasted glass, copper-foil glasswork, painted and engraved glass. In general the term is restricted to relatively modern pieces made by people who see themselves as individual artists who have chosen to work in the medium of glass and both design and make their own pieces as fine art. This is in opposition to traditional glassworker craftsmen, who often produce pieces designed by others, though their pieces certainly may be considered art. “Studio glass” is another term often used for modern glass made for artistic purposes. Art glass has exponentially grown in popularity since the mid 20th Century with many artists becoming famous for their work, and particularly since more colleges began offering courses in glass work. During the early 20th Century art glass was generally made by teams of factory workers, taking glass from furnaces containing a thousand or more pounds. This form of art glass is perhaps best known from the stunning works of masters like Tiffany and Steuben in the U.S., Gallé in France, Hoya Crystal in Japan, Royal Leerdam Crystal in the Netherlands, and Orrefors and Kosta Boda in Sweden. Due to rapidly changing conventions in the interwar period and post-Great Depression, most antique art glass was made in factories rather than these studios or by individuals. Particularly in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Bohemia, where items were made to a standard, or “pattern,” artists were still able to assert their creativity through the importance of decoration, painting or augmenting their works with their own style. Up to about 1940, almost all of the processes involved in making decorative art glass were performed by hand.
