Glass
WHAT DETERMINES THE COLOR OF GLASS -
Glass, whether pressed or mouth-blown, was made with three primary ingredients: sand, soda (also referred to as potash), and lime. Metallic oxides, such as lead, are added to remove impurities yielding clear glass. Manganese was also used for clarifying glass through 1917. When this variety of clear glass sits in the sun for a long period, such as an insulator on a telegraph pole, it will turn various shades of purple.
When a clear glass is referred to as “lead crystal,” this indicates that lead oxide was added to the glass during manufacture to improve the quality. In the early 1800s, glass had flint added to it to improve clarity and durability. The term "flint glass" continues to be used to describe an antique glass of good quality made through the early 1900s, even though lead replaced flint as a clarifying additive in the mid-1800s.
Colored glass is made similarly to uncolored glass. Blue antique glass was given its color by adding cobalt oxide to a molten glass mixture of sand, potash, and lime. This additive accounts for the deep blue glass being referred to as cobalt blue. Other shades of blue were achieved by lowering the amount of cobalt oxide added to the glass mixture.
Amethyst, or purple, glass was given its color by adding manganese oxide to a molten glass mixture of sand, potash, and lime.
The green antique glass was given its color by adding iron oxide to a molten glass mixture of sand, potash, and lime. Varying shades of green ranging from light to dark with an olive hue were achieved by lowering the amount of iron oxide added to the glass mixture.
This type of glass should not be confused with green Depression glass containing uranium oxide, or vaseline glass, which is more yellow in color and will also fluoresce under ultraviolet light due to uranium content.
Amber and brown antique glass were given their color by adding iron/sulfur oxide to a molten glass mixture of sand, potash, and lime. (i.e. Beer bottles)
The red antique glass was given its color by adding gold oxide to a molten glass mixture of sand, potash, and lime. More in the mixed gold would result in deep red. Other shades of red and pink are achieved by lowering the amount of gold oxide added to the glass mixture.

Various Art Glass pieces
Cloisonne' is an ancient technique for decorating metal works objects using inlays of cut gemstones, glass and enamel. This technique was mostly used for jewelry and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects with geometric or symbolic designs. Cloisonne' inlay has been found on 8th century Anglo-Saxon swords, and rings found in Cyprus dating back to the 12th century. By the 14th century this technique had spread to China were it was soon used for much larger vessels such as bowls and vases.
