Artistic engraving, glass

Glass engraving is a form of decorative glasswork that involves engraving a glass surface or object. It is distinct from glass art in the narrow sense, which refers to moulding and blowing glass, and from glass etching which uses acidic, caustic, or abrasive substances to achieve artistic effects. Some artists may combine two or more techniques. There are several different types of glass engraving.

Flashed glass and glass etching are a few categories of "Artistic engraving on glass".

A few scholars of "Artistic engraving on glass" include J. Matcham and P. Dreiser.

Glass engraving is considered by many to be a dying art form. While this is far from accurate it is certainly a form that has seen its heyday come and go.
