As a follow-up to Karl's email, Jeff hopes, after the Tool Talk, to
pull cane and demonstrate RETICELLO.<br>
<br>
This is from google: Definitions of <b> RETICELLO</b> on the Web:<br>
<br>
<font size="-1">
<li>This
is a variant of the "filigrana" already known in Murano in the XVI. It
is obtained by joining two conical vases under heat, covered externally
with thin coloured rods, one arranged clockwise and the other
anticlockwise. A network is thus formed with a rhomboid-like mesh. The
rods with different thickness, within each quadrangle, cause the
characteristic air bubble.<br>
<a
href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=X&start=0&oi=define&q=http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/murano_glass/murano_glossary.htm"><font
color="#008000">www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/murano_glass/murano_glossary.htm</font></a></li>
</font><br>
when the definition talks about "characteristic air bubble", the
criss-crossed cane patterns form diamond patterns on the glass, and
there is a tiny air bubble trapped within each diamond.<br>
If you want to visualize this, take a look at this piece (done by Dante
Marioni) at<br>

which has a close-up to show the bubbles.<br>
