Glossary Words
'oval' prism
Named for its shape; this facet-cut glass prism is often used in graduated chains. Originally French, from the mid-18th century, they were made right the way through to the modern day. A thinner variety is also used on Swedish chandeliers.
'icicle' pendant
Tapered cut-glass pendant with multi-facetted cutting, in the shape of an icicle.
