Definitions: Cast glass is glass with a textured
“hot cast” surface produced by pouring and
pressing molten glass onto or into a mold (also
see slumped, patterned). Slumped glass or “kilnformed”
glass is produced by placing float glass
into a kiln over a mold having the desired shape
or pattern and heating to the temperature where
the glass softens and “slumps” to the form of the
mold. The formed glass is then annealed and can
be further processed or fabricated. 12.2022
