- Filigrana - In glassmaking, filigrana involves fusing fine threads of coloured glass into clear glass to create intricate patterns. This can be done using a variety of techniques, including blowing, moulding, or casting. The result is a glass object with delicate, intricate designs that have a subtle and elegant appearance.
- Aventurine Glass - Aventurine glass is a type of glass where small flakes of gold, copper, or silver color form in the glass and provide a glitter or sparkle to the glass when seen in the light. The small flakes are created by adding copper, gold or silver to the molten glass during the glassmaking process.
