Página 3 - Glass objects are generally made entirely of glass, whilst glazed objects consist of one or more layers of glaze applied to a core or base of other material. Glass is made by heating the ingredients in a crucible until they fuse into a liquid, which is either poured into a mould, pulled out as threads when in a plastic condition, or allowed to cool and then broken from the pot. Faience, on the other hand, is moulded to shape as a powder, lightly held together with some liquid such as milk of lime,...

Early in our era, glass vessels of western make were reaching the Far East, but centuries before this — c. 300 BC or earlier — two entirely differently ornamented types of western beads were reaching China in sufficient numbers to be admired and to be copied on a considerable scale, though such copying was not servile and the foreign elements might be considerably modified.

Glass, glaze, and faience are all made of similar materials ; their chief constituent is silica and they all contain lime. Glass and glaze always contain soda or other alkali, whilst small quantities of soda are usually present in faience.
