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. Cut glass, which is cut with an abrasive wheel, but more deeply than in engraved glass, where the engraving normally only cuts deeply enough into the surface to leave a mark.
Usually the engraved surface is left “frosted” so a difference is visible, while in cut glass the cut surface is polished to restore transparency. Some pieces may combine two or more techniques.
