Questions About Reverse Painted Glass
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The first step in reverse glass painting is to select your design and to transfer it to a pane of glass. From there you can paint in your design. Once the paint is dry and set, you can proudly display your artwork from the unpainted side that will have no exposed paint and will be less prone to chipping.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Reverse painting on glass is called verre églomisé. The term gets its name from the 18th-century decorator Jean-Baptiste Glomy who became famous for his reverse-painted glass prints. On 1stDibs, you can shop a collection of verre églomisé furniture and jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Reverse painting is a method of glass art. The artist paints the back of a glass panel so the finished work can be seen from the opposite side. The technique is centuries old and pieces can be found in a variety of art styles. Browse a selection of reverse painted pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Windows that appear to be made of painted glass are called stained glass windows. Stained glass windows are made of glass that has been colored by mixing molten glass with metallic oxides. Shop a range of stained glass pieces from top sellers on 1stDibs.

    Yes, it is safe to paint a glass lampshade as long as you are using glass-specific paint. One thing to note: If your lampshade is translucent (versus opaque), the paint color will look slightly different when you turn the lamp on.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The craft of painting enamel on glass is called enameling. Because regular paint would simply wash off glass, the artisan uses enamel and fires it into the glass once they have painted the design. Browse a range of enameled glass pieces on 1stDibs.
