Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 249, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1917 — Cut Glass Is Fragile. [ARTICLE]

Cut Glass Is Fragile.

Out glass probably would break more easily than uncut glass. The pattern in cut glass is cut by means of grinding wheels. Uncut glass patterns are usually molded. The angles in cut glass are better defined and sharper. The cutter also may, in some cases, drive his wheel a little deeper than in other spots. Obviously, the glass at such points would be thinner and more fragile.
