• Bullicante: This is applied to very thick glass. It consists of overlaying several layers of air bubbles in a grid pattern within the vitreous wall. This mass is then pulled with the blowpipe which creates tiny depressions imprinted in a regular pattern on its surface. This process is repeated several times to reveal several layers of bubbles.
• Sommerso: This technique requires a blown work in thick glass to be immersed in a pot containing transparent glass of a different color and of equal thickness overlaying thick transparent glass to obtain particular chromatic effects.
