The glass etching allows for multitude of different shades from full matte (frosted) to transparent. Despite the simplicity of technique, glass etching can produce designs of unlimited complexity.

The etched glass and the etching of flashed glass were widely used in modernism. In this field we often work on the reintegration of the lacunas and also production of new objects. The glass etching functions similarly to the engraving a copper plate. Moreover etching can be combined with the other possible glass processing techniques creating unique designs.
