Baroque
Baroque is made with cathedral colors and sometimes with swirls of white opal glass.  It is recognized by its bold swirling colorful patterns.

Cathedral
A transparent glass of one color that may have patterns rolled onto the glass that diffuse the light coming through the glass. Common patterns include: hammered, granite, ripple, seedy, and doubled rolled.

Glue Chip
A surface gluing technique on cathedral glass, which as the glue drys and shrinks, pulls chips of glass off the surface creating the fern-like pattern.

Iridized
Metallic salts are applied to opalescent or cathedral glass to create vivid mother-of-pearl colors reflecting off the surface.

Opalescent
One or more colors mixed with opal white glass to produce varying degrees of opacity. Sheets may contain as many as five colors and patterns include: doubled rolled, granite, ripple and mottled. Wispy opals contain light, feathery streaks of white opal.

Waterglass
This glass has a surface texture that looks like shimmering ripples on a lake.
