- Knop (glass) - In Georgian glassware, the knop is a bulbous protrusion, usually midway up the stem of the glass. It may be included singly or in groups, and may be hollow or solid. There are many styles of knop including basal, baluster, bell, acorn, cone, flattened, melon and mushroom.
- 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.
