Engraving Methods
Engraved glass is a type of decorated glass that involves shallowly engraving the surface of a glass object. Holding it against a rotating wheel, or manipulating a diamond point in the style of an engraving burin.
It is a subgroup of glass art, which refers to all artistic glass, much of it made by hot techniques such as moulding and blowing melting glass. Other techniques such as glass etching uses acidic and caustic or abrasive substances to achieve artistic effects. The glass is normally cut with the abrasive wheel but the cut is deeper than the engraved glass.
The engraving normally only cuts deeply enough into the surface and leaves a mark. The engraved surface is left frosted so a difference is visible. Some pieces may combine two or more techniques.
