Get the effect on inexpensive clear glass items---see tutorials on-line.
The dollar store has odd glassware. And squat jam jars in the
supermarket---w/ pressed glass fruit designs--look like antiques
when mercuried.
NOTE Many spray paint products have been tried and failed---silver,
chrome, nickle. Krylon Looking Glass paint works. Hard to find---
but Hobby Lobby has it.
HOW-TO Spray droplets of water inside the glass before
spray-painting----to get that antique mottled look after it dries.
Shop Hobby Lobby on-line.

It’s GORGEOUS! I’m obsessed!
I have two vases that are REAL Mercury Glass. My Grandma found them in a shop and they were ‘supposedly’ survivors of The Great Chicago Fire when she overpaid for them in 1950, LOL!
Grandpa liked to point that out. ;)
