Our art glassmakers want you to understand the following are traditional marks of handmade glass, not imperfections:

• Tiny Bubbles - Called seeds, these bubbles are formed by gasses when the raw ingredients for glass are melted. Seeds do not affect the quality of blown glass awards or their beauty.
• Stretch Marks - Referred to as a cord in the industry, stretch mark lines on glass art awards are only visible from certain angles of light. The lines are a difference in density that occurs during the melting process.
• Mold Marks - Ridges on a molded glass piece indicate where the mold was separated from the piece. Overly prominent marks on glass art trophies can be a sign of careless workmanship.
• Shear Mark - This is the slight puckering of the glass caused when an artisan snips off molten excess after shaping the piece, and is a normal characteristic of glass.
• Pontil Mark - On some blown art glass, you will find a small indentation on the bottom. This is the pontil mark and confirms that the piece was handmade. The indentation shows where the glass was attached to the pontil in the final step of fire polishing. Handmade stemware is attached from the bowl end with the glass cut away at the rim, leaving no indentation.
