Hi Joe,

     I noticed one technique is missing or maybe you call it something else. I'm referring to reticulated glass, also known as diatreton, vas diatretum, and diatreta (plural). I doubt if anyone will be acquiring an object of this type intact but the possibility of finding a fragment does exist.
     Diatreta glass is usually dated to the 4th century A.D. These objects consist of two shells, an inner and an outer one. The outer one was formed by grinding away the glass but leaving lugs to attach it to the inner one. The outer shell may consist of circles, letters from an inscription, or even figures.
These objects are sometimes referred to as cage cups. For examples, see The Cologne Cup; the Lycurgus Cup in the British Museum; the Milan Cup; and there may be one or part of one in Corning Museum, New York.

Joe Sermarini:
Hi Russ, The idea behind a wiki is that everyone can make additions, changes, improvements, etc.  You can make a new page for reticulated glass and add it to the index.

Russ:
Hi Joe,

How do I add to a Wiki? Are there instructions? I'm not that great with computers and don't want to mess up anything by experimenting.
Thanks.
Russ
