It's done by pressing the glass against a revolving disc, sometimes that disc is an abrasive stone, sometimes it is a copper disc with an abrasive powder in water flowing over the glass. Other types of engraving are done with a tiny chisel or a vibrating metal point. </p><p>In this instance, the eyes are 'bright', they'be been polished, the rest is gray, the natural effect of engraving or cutting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
