Etched glass is a popular and attractive choice for people who are looking to spruce up a room or add some creativity to their house. Etched glass is glassware whose design has been cut into the surface through acid corrosion.
The surface of etched glass will vary depending on what type of acid is used and how long it was on the glass for; it can be rough and frosted, or smooth and satiny, or a combination of the two.
Various methods are used to transfer a design onto glass, but the most common is to coat the glass in beeswax or paraffin, then draw the design in with metal needles. The glass is then dipped in the acid, which etches the design through the grooves.
