Questions About Glass Chess Pieces
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Boxwood is often used for chest pieces due to the properties of the wood. While it is a hard, dense wood that can hold up to wear and tear, boxwood is also simple to turn and carve, so it can be easily shaped into pawns, rooks and other pieces. In addition, the light color works well with white paint. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of chess sets.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022One way to tell if you have a piece of genuine hand-blown glass is to locate the pontil mark. This is a scar usually found on the bottom of the piece where the pontil was broken off from the glass object. An absence of this scar may indicate your glass piece was mold-blown. Shop a collection of vintage and contemporary hand-blown glass from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
