Seeking the wisdom of experienced HAs, I have the following queries:
1)  What is the correct term for a textured surface on a glass vessel?
Textures, such as the "orange peel" on the bottom of some bottles, are
created by the mold, but is it embossing?
 
2)  Is patination on glass shards temporally sensitive?  Or is it strictly a
matter of post-depositional conditions?
 
3)  What attributes of stoneware date to the first half of the nineteenth
century?  Any suggestions for sources on nineteenth-century
stoneware?
 
Much appreciated,
