Textured Glass

Texture or Figured glass refers to a raised or depressed pattern in the surface of the glass imparted by rolling or pressing the molten glass with said pattern. In some rare cases it may also refer to specific qualities of the glass that are not changes done to the surface of the glass like with Seeded Glass.Texture should also not be confused with Types of Glass as a texture can be applied separately during the making of that specific type of glass.

There has been likely thousands of textures made over the centuries for various uses generally done on just plain clear glass for use as Architectural Glass rather than for use in art.
