- Oviform /ovoid - The outline loosely resembling the shape of an egg.
- Favrile - Favrile glass is a type of iridescent art glass, similar to some of the Roman glass that has been excavated after being buried for centuries. It was developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1892, patented in 1894 and the first itmes were produced in 1896. It differs from most iridescent glasses because the colour is ingrained in the glass itself, instead of being sprayed onto the surface while the glass was molten, as with Carnival glass.
The most common items manufactured by Tiffany in favrile glass were vases.
The glass was imitated by Loetz and other Bohemian manufacturers.
