GLOSSARY
_Antiques_, coloured glasses made in imitation of the qualities of
ancient glass.
_Banding_, putting on the copper "ties" by which the glazed light is
attached to the supporting bars.
_Base_, (1) the light-tinted glass, white, greenish or yellow, on which
the thin film of ruby or blue is imposed in "flashed" glasses; (2) the
support of the niche on which the figure stands in "canopy work."
_Borrowed light_, a light not coming direct from daylight, but from the
interior light of a building as in the case of a _screen_ of glass. (The
result is similar when a window is seen against near background of trees
or buildings.)
_Calm_ (of lead), the strip of lead, 3 to 4 feet long, as used for
leading up the glass.
_Canopy_ or "tabernacle work," the architectural framing in imitation of
a carved niche in which the figure is placed. The vertical supports
(sometimes used alone to frame in the whole light) are called
"shafting."
_Cartoon_, the design of the window, full size, on paper.
_Chasuble_, the outermost sacrificial vestment of a bishop or priest.
_Cope_, the outermost ceremonial and processional vestment of a bishop
or priest.
_Core_ (of lead), the crossbar of the "H" section as shown in fig. 34.
_Crocketting_, the ornamenting of any architectural member at intervals
with sculptured bosses or crockets.
_Cullet_, the waste cuttings of glass. Generally used over again in
greater or less quantity as an ingredient in the making of new glass.
_Cut-line_, the tracing (containing the lead lines only) by which the
work is cut and glazed.
_Flux_, the solvent which assists the melting of the metallic pigments
in the kiln. Various materials are used, _e.g._ silica and lead, but
unfortunately borax also is used, and I would warn the student to buy
