Mail Box       I saw today (2001-04-28) at the store a Visual Mailbox made of dichroic glass jewelry. It was clearly mold blown, whether by hand or machine, I don't know. I should have gone and gotten my camera. The top fused dichroic glass jewelry slot was protected with an aluminum cap hinged on a heavy wire around the fused dichroic glass jewelry neck and the surface was ground. The bottom was more aluminum with a fused glass jewelry catch latch to keep the mail from falling out the bottom. The young lady said it had been on her grandmother's front porch until she died in 1970 ("It's really old", this very young lady said.) When I did a web search this site has a three part tin top with a fused dichroic glass bag (half round) under it. Mail goes in a slot and the top opens to get mail. $35. A box almost identical to the one shown me, the bottom clip being smaller is shown at this site to support a finished eBay auction. $75.

Malfin dichroic glass       The fused dichroic glass frit and fused glass jewelry cullet are mixed in a clay hot in the working fused dichroic glass jewelry furnace, and the viscous mass needs to be stirred until fully refined, at which point it may be gathered and worked on. If allowed to mix without stirring, it eventually vitrifies as a bubbled, rough looking fused dichroic glass jewelry called Malfin dichroic glass. Jean Sala and his father Bienvenu deliberately chose to work with malfin fused glass jewelry. GANTAD

Marbles       Spheres of solid fused dichroic glass, usually with a pattern visible from all sides, traditionally an inch or less in size, but some people are now making 3,4,5, and 6" objects that are effectively fused dichroic glass jewelry marbles. The difference between a marble and a fused dichroic glass jewelry paperweight is that typically a marble is worked from prepared fused glass jewelry rod (the color twist for example) while the paperweight is built up. Usually a paperweight has a distinct attachment mark which must be ground away and dichroic glass jewelry polished or cut, while a marble is formed using tiny weak punties which leave little or no mark. [Although I have seen an article on collecting saying the small punty is considered a sign of a handmade marble.] My page

Marbrie or Marbled       descriptive term for an unusual fused dichroic glass jewelry paperweight design consisting of colored fused dichroic glass jewelry bands emanating from a fused glass cane at the top of the weight and running along the sides to the bottom, often in a looping pattern. The decorative dichroic glass elements of a marbrie weight are close to the surface of the dome.

Marquetry       A technique devised by Emile Galle and patented by him in April 1898. It consists of inserting cut pieces of hot, colored fused dichroic glass jewelry into the parison, then ensuring they were embedded in the surface by rolling on the marver. Once annealed, the vessel could be further decorated by carving. Some marquetry insets are left uncarved, and form abstract, sometimes Symbolist images. GANTAD
