Mercury glass, or silvered glass, as it is also called, dates back to 19th-century Germany or the forests of Bohemia, today known as the Czech Republic, around 1840. Who first made mercury glass is unknown. Mostly used for decorative purposes by collectors now, mercury glass does not contain silver or mercury.
