Cast Glass

• Casting is a process that involves molten glass being directed into a mould to solidify into a desired shape. At Daedalian Glass Studios, the majority of cast glass is created by melting the glass in a kiln and directing it into either a plaster mould or a sand mould. This process allows for extremely intricate designs to be created and reproduced on the surface of the glass.
• Cast glass is also sometimes referred to as kiln cast glass (kiln casting), plaster cast glass (plaster casting), or sand cast glass (sand casting).

Gilded / Mirrored / Silvered Glass

• Silvered glass (or mirrored glass) is produced by coating a glass surface with a reflective substance. Although it is called silvering, this is just a remnant of past times when silver was the most common substance used in the process – a variety of metallic substances such as aluminium or tin can also be used.
• Gilding is a technique for decorating surfaces by applying a thin layer of metal (metal leaf). The surface is then described as having been gilt. This is traditionally gold (gold gilded / gold gilt) but a range of metals can be used such as silver (silver gilded / silver gilt), copper (copper gilded / copper gilt), or bronze (bronze gilded / bronze gilt).
