The most common are mechanical methods for obtaining a
matte surface of the glass, such as engraving, faceting, grinding and
sandblasting the glass.
Glass engraving is a drawing on its surface of a
picture, inscription or ornament by cutting out manually or mechanically. This
is how in-depth and even visually prominent figures are created.
Glass faceting is a decorative treatment of glass, in
which with the help of a multitude of polished and matte planes arranged in a
specific sequence, conditions are created for refraction, dispersion, and
reflection of light.

Glass grinding is a mechanical or manual glass
processing operation, a type of abrasive treatment. The basis of the grinding
tool are grains of abrasive material that perform the functions of
micro-cutters, which realize micro-cutting of the material being processed and
plastic deformation of its surface layer.
Finally, sandblasting of glass is also used for decorative
glass matting - cold abrasive treatment of the glass surface by damaging its
surface with sand or other abrasive powder sprayed by the air flow, and during
hydro-abrasive treatment with a stream of water or other liquid.
