<p>[QUOTE=&quot;UncleChuckTX, post: 76533, member: 154&quot;]I found a hex-button Venetian vase.&nbsp; My question is about the glass finish towards the bottom of this vase.&nbsp; Does this look like water staining / calcium / etc that has settled into the rough areas of the texture?&nbsp; The article on DDoty says the textured finish was produced by rolling the hot glass in frit, not by using acid or other means to create the uneven surface.&nbsp; So, the discoloration on mine probably isn&#039;t from the glassmaking process.&nbsp; Correct?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve only seen one other piece of this glass line, and it had a different surface treatment.&nbsp; I realize it&#039;s supposed to have an &quot;ancient&quot; look, but I&#039;m not sure what I&#039;m looking at.&nbsp; Does that make sense?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any advice you can give.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the vase:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]19705[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some close-ups of the area I&#039;m curious about:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]19706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19708[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]19711[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
