Questions About A Sommerso Glass
- How is Sommerso glass made?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Sommerso glass is made by dipping colored glass into liquid molten glass in a second shade prior to mouth-blowing the material into the desired shape. The end result is a decorative object that shows off two or more colors. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Sommerso glass.
- What is Sommerso art glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Sommerso art glass is glassware that has two or more layers of color in the piece that don’t mix together. Associated with Murano glass, sommerso is Italian for “submerged.” Find a collection of Sommerso art glass on 1stDibs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- What is a Sommerso vase?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A Sommerso vase is a vase that’s created by submerging the vase into pots of molten colored glass repeatedly creating the appearance of layered glass inside a colorless glass shell. It’s one of the methods perfected by the famed Murano glassmakers. Find an assortment of sommerso vases from the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, cordial glasses are not the same as shot glasses. Typically, cordial glasses feature stems, while shot glasses do not. Normally, people use cordial glasses for serving liqueurs and dessert wines. Shot glasses are generally meant for hard spirits. Shop a range of antique and vintage glasses on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Depression glass refers to any glass made during the period 1929-1939, and the Federal Glass Company was one of the most prolific makers of glass in America during that period. You can identify Federal Glassware by looking for the distinct shield with capital “F” stamped logo somewhere on the piece. Shop vintage Federal Glass on 1stDibs from some of the world’s top sellers.
- Is Tiffany glass real glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024Yes, Tiffany glass is real glass. Louis Comfort Tiffany and his workshop, Tiffany Studios, produced many types of decorative glassware, such as opalescent glass, Favrile glass, streamer glass, fracture glass and ripple glass. While the colors, patterns, thicknesses and other characteristics of these materials vary, they are all forms of glass. Find a diverse assortment of antique Tiffany lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between Indiana glass and carnival glass is that one term describes glassware made by a specific manufacturer, and the other refers to a specific style of glassware. Carnival glass is glassware created by molding or pressing molten glass and then applying an iridescent finish that gives it a shimmering quality. Indiana glass is any glassware made by the Indiana Glass Company. Founded in 1907 in Dunkirk, Indiana, the company produced carnival glass as well as other types of glassware, including pressed, translucent Depression glass and enameled pressed Goofus glass. Find a wide variety of Indiana Glass Company glassware and other carnival glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A champagne glass, also known as a flute, is a tall and slender stemmed glass used for drinking champagne. A coupe glass is a wider and shorter stemmed glass that is also frequently used for serving champagne. The coupe glass can also be used for cocktails. Browse 1stDibs to find a beautiful array of champagne flutes and coupe glasses from top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between a martini glass and a cocktail glass is the overall design. Used for serving martinis, cosmopolitans and other mixed drinks, martini glasses are typically larger than cocktail glasses and have conical bowls. Cocktail glasses are smaller by comparison and have a rounder shape. Also, nearly all martini glasses have stems, but cocktail glasses are available with and without stems. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of martini glasses and cocktail glasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024The difference between Tiffany glass and stained glass is that one relates to a brand and the other is a type of glass. Stained glass is colorful glass made by adding metallic oxides to molten glass during the blowing process. Named after Louis Comfort Tiffany who established Tiffany Studios, Tiffany glass involves a technique where copper foil, rather than the traditional lead oxide, serves as the joining material for individual stained glass pieces. Another key characteristic of Tiffany glass is that it often has an opalescent effect that creates variations in color and texture across its surface. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Tiffany glass and other stained glass pieces.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between depression glass and carnival glass is color. Inspired by Tiffany stained glass, carnival glass usually shows off a variety of vibrant iridescent colors, while depression glass tends to feature only one color. Find a large selection of antique and vintage glassware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The difference between glass and crystal wine glasses is their composition. Mineral deposits like lead, magnesium or zinc strengthen crystal glass, rendering it thin but durable. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of wine glasses and other glassware from different periods.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between stained glass and painted glass is how it is made. To create stained glass, an artisan adds pigments to the glass and then fires it at high temperatures to permanently change the appearance of the material. With painted glass, color is added after firing and may rub off or fade with age. You'll find a large selection of glass decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021There is no real difference between Venetian glass and Murano glass. While both Venetian glass and Murano glass come from Murano Island, Venice is a more popular location than Murano, hence it is called widely as Venetian glass. You can use both search terms to find the best piece for you on 1stDibs.
- What is Culver glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024Culver glass is the term for glassware produced by the company Culver Ltd. It opened its doors in Brooklyn, New York, in 1939. The company is perhaps best known for its line of mid-century cocktail glasses trimmed in genuine 22-karat gold. Find a variety of Culver glass on 1stDibs.
- What is etched glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Etched glass is a type of decorative glass which is the result of small cuts made to the glass. The cuts, which appear white, typically form patterns or images.
- What is a tulip glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021A tulip glass has a bulbous body and a delicate flared top that resembles the lip of a tulip. These drinking glasses are mostly used for beer and are intended to promote flavor and aroma of pilsners and ales. We’re approaching happy hour — shop a range of tulip glasses on 1stDibs today.

- What is Harrach glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Harrach glass is the term for glassware produced by the Harrach glassworks in Bohemia. Elias Muller began operating the facility on the land of Count Raimund von Harrach in 1712. Although the company remains in operation today under the name Sklarna Novosad & Syn Bohemia Harrachov, the term Harrach glass usually describes colorful pieces made during the Victorian age. Find a selection of Harrach glass on 1stDibs.
- What glass is collectible?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Many kinds of glass are collectible. Some types highly prized by collectors include carnival glass, depression glass, hobnail glass, jadeite, milk glass and moonstone glass.
