Flashed Glasses

These carefully mouthblown glasses are not colored throughout their mass. They attain their coloration through the "flash" technique of glass blowing. One or more colored glasses are applied to a clear or colored base glass referred to as the "carrier glass". This method creates a practically unlimited variety of glasses. Multicolored glasses, glasses with or without shading, gently shaded, cloudy or torn - all may be produced using this method. White "milk" glasses, availible in dense "opak" or translucent "opal" densities obscure views but allow light transmission.
