  • A glassmaking technique in which substances are applied to the surface of an object that, when heated to about 1470°F (800°C), fuse and create an effect similar to weathering. The technique is used, for example, to imitate the look of glass retrieved in an archeological excavation. From the Italian for "excavation."
