- Engraved Glass - The method of decorating glass by marking the surface with a sharp intrument such as a diamond, metal needle or rotating cutting wheel. As pressure is applied to the surface, best results for engraving are achieved if the glass is of sufficient thickness. In the 19th century etching was used to decorate some table glassware that was too fine to take an engraving tool.
- Filigrana - In glassmaking, filigrana involves fusing fine threads of coloured glass into clear glass to create intricate patterns. This can be done using a variety of techniques, including blowing, moulding, or casting. The result is a glass object with delicate, intricate designs that have a subtle and elegant appearance.
