Etched and Sandblasted Glass: Patterns on glass

An Art Deco glass with geometric patterns. Frosted fan, stepped, or radial line patterns are created on transparent glass using sandblasting or acid etching, forming a clear contrast between frosted and clear parts. It is used for a screen, an inlay in a set of doors, or a cabinet door. When light is behind it, the frosted parts glow, and the clear parts reveal shadows from behind. Avoid: using stained glass and leaded colored glass, having organic plant patterns, simulating etching with film, or making the entire glass frosted, losing contrast.

一片帶幾何圖案的裝飾藝術玻璃。透明的玻璃上以噴砂或酸蝕做出霧面的扇形、階梯或放射線圖案,霧面與清透的部分形成清楚的對比;它用在一道隔屏、一組門片的鑲嵌或一面櫃門上。背後有光時,霧面的部分發亮、清透的部分透出後方的影子。避免:使用彩繪玻璃與鑲嵌彩色玻璃、讓圖案是有機的植物紋、使用貼膜模擬蝕刻、把整片玻璃做成霧面失去對比。
