faceted glass

Prismatic decorative pane

Faceted glass has flat, angled surfaces cut or molded into it, creating geometric planes that catch and reflect light.

The technique appears in fine crystal stemware, decorative beads, and chandeliers, where the facets produce sparkle and prismatic effects.

The faceted glass caught the candlelight beautifully.
