Etched glass is made by exposing the shiny glass to acid that eats away some of the surface. You can get much the same effect with sand blasting. Ething is a great way to add decoration to a lump of glass and make it beautiful.
Etched-Glass.info is the website where we are beginning to subdivide this category of glass into functional pieces. Since etching can be applied to almost any glass surface we are a little uncertain as to exactly what the most useful breakdown will be. We will try to put ourselves into the mind of a visitor who has inherited an etched glass piece and is looking for information that will help identify and value it.
Below are three etched glass items currently for sale.
