Ground Glass ~ Vidrio de Pepita
(back to glassware heading)

Ground Glass is a term refering to etched glass. Blown glass looses its flat texture and acquires a light, airy and formal dimension when textures and designs are engraved upon it. Performed with an emory wheel, the artisan carefully etches flower designs and classic decorative motifs onto each piece. Each item is hand worked though the designs within a set are remarkably the same.
