<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ritzyvintage, post: 3682066, member: 18191&quot;]There is definitely much confusion about the names and terms used between countries when describing different glass-types and finishes etc. Opaline, Opal, Opalescent for example, and Custard glass, frosted glass, flashed glass and stained glass are just a few names &amp; terms used differently. Etched or engraved? is another example of this, as is also heat sensitive glass,&nbsp; cased glass, Vaseline glass, and Uranium glass. Ruby, Cranberry, overlay, mould blown, press-moulded, free blown, mouth blown, lamp-worked, flame-worked, Mother of Pearl, the list is almost endless. Some of the above are the same glass with different terms/names applied subject to country of origin... Most terms tend to originate from the country or factory in which they were developed, however certain glass-types will always be governed by the same methods of manufacture. The first link gives a few terms as commonly used in USA, however some may be termed differently in other countries and this only adds to the confusion. All 3 links will provide good basic information [USER=8363]@KikoBlueEyes[/USER]&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.americanvisionwindows.com/glossary-of-glass-making-terms/#:~:text=Some%20of%20the%20most%20common%20glassmaking%20terms%20include,to%20create%20shallow%20decorative%20areas%20on%20the%20glass." target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.americanvisionwindows.com/glossary-of-glass-making-terms/#:~:text=Some%20of%20the%20most%20common%20glassmaking%20terms%20include,to%20create%20shallow%20decorative%20areas%20on%20the%20glass." rel="nofollow">Glossary of Glass Making Terms | American Vision Windows</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_glass" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameo_glass" rel="nofollow">Cameo glass - Wikipedia</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.peterleeglass.com/blog-post.html/59/difference-between-etched-and-frosted-glass" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.peterleeglass.com/blog-post.html/59/difference-between-etched-and-frosted-glass" rel="nofollow">Difference between etched and frosted glass | Peterlee Glass</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
