- Cranberry Glass - Cranberry glass is a type of glass that is characterized by its deep red color. It was first made in the 19th century and was particularly popular during the Victorian era. It was typically used to make decorative items such as vases and figurines. The red color was achieved by adding gold chloride or selenium to the glass mixture during the manufacturing process.
- Embossed / Repousse - Embossing, also known as repousse, is the technique of decorating metal with raised designs, by pressing or beating out the design from the reverse side of the object.It is the opposite of chasing, where the decoration is applied from the front. An embossed or repoussed object may have chasing applied to finish off the design.
