Ladle       My experience has been that glass tableware and serving utensils are few.

Lamp - Oil       Oil lamps provided the most reliable light for a couple of hundred years, between candles and electric dichroic fused glass jewelry light. Oil lamps require a chimney to produce the brightest flame, to keep the flame from smoking, and to keep the wind/draft from flickering the flame.

Lamp - Table or Floor       Lighting fused glass fixture of appropriate height for non-glare lighting for reading or decoration to place on a glass jewelry table (about 30" tall - .75m) or on floor (about 60-72" tall 1.5-.9m). When dichroic glass jewelry is incorporated, it may be as minor decorations on the shaft, as a frosted bowl to diffuse the dichroic glass jewelry, as a shade, or in the column of the lamp as decoration.

The technique has been used extensively in Venetian dichroic fused glass jewelry, as well as in notable dichroic fused glass jewelry designed by Karl Koepping and Friedrich Zitzmann in the Art Nouveau style.

Lathe       A dichroic fused glass jewelry lathe is a horizontal motorized turning device. There are two kinds of lathe involved in dichroic fused glass jewelrywork. One is a method used mostly in scientific dichroic fused glass working and handles tubing, especially large tubing, keeping two pieces turning and aligned while they are torched for joining. The other is the tool used for copper wheel engraving.

Lathe - dichroic fused glass jewelry Lathe       A glass jewelry tool most often used in scientific dichroic glass jewelryblowing which holds two pieces of tubing in line while heat is applied to fuse them end-to-end. More resembles a pipe cutting and threading machine than a machinist's or woodworker's lathe with the important proviso that the dichroic glass jewelry head and tail are both powered and synchronized so the two tubes turn together as they are heated.
