<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lauragarnet, post: 145510, member: 105&quot;]Here are some things I found searching for faceted, facet cut glass, cased, opaque, hexagon, pentagon, etc. I have no first hand knowledge, so can&#039;t vouch for any of the descriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]38998[/ATTACH] </p><p><b><a href="http://www.brilliantglass.com/a-guide-to-abcg/products-american-and-foreign-a-portfolio/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.brilliantglass.com/a-guide-to-abcg/products-american-and-foreign-a-portfolio/" rel="nofollow">Via: brilliantglass.com</a></b></p><p>8. Opaque Colored Glass Cut-To-Opaque Colored Glass: Two Layers, Two Colors</p><p>Objects such as this vase of opaque colored glass (blue) cut-to-opaque colored glass (white) are usually attributed to China. Dating is uncertain, but most examples are probably from the twentieth century, with many made as recently as the post-World War II years. The glass is non-lead and is lighter in weight than what one might expect. Overlays are thick, with opaque blue and opaque green appearing most often. Cuttings are often imprecise and designs undistinquished. In these respects the present example is unusual, showing an effective overall design of hollow hexagons that has been produced with care. (Similar blanks, with two or more colors — as well as a single color — were also used to produce so-called Peking glass where vessels, especially snuff bottles, were cut using the cameo technique. Today this Chinese cameo glass is most often seen on small vases and bowls that depict butterflies, flowers, and other vegetation in opaque red against an opaque white background.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Vase.
