Acid etching modifies the aspect and texture of the material, giving the glass satin-like look and silky-smooth touch. In addition, through the application of a protective film, an area, motif, or print may be left untouched, leaving room for the interplay of texture and transparency on the bottle’s surface.
Borrowed from the printing industry, the four color printing process allows the reproduction of a broad chromatic spectrum through the mixing of the three primary colors and black. Its application on glass surfaces gives life to the more ambitious graphic projects: the bottle, much like a photography print or a canvas, adorns itself with myriads of tones and thus, by ways of modern technique, the glass decoration trade recovers the artistic quality of yester year.
Through hot stamping motifs, logos or text of gold, silver, cooper, or amethyst appearance may be deposited on the previously acid-etched or sprayed surface of the bottle. The alteration of its surface turns the glass into an ideal receptacle for the precious metal, whose addition by hot stamping transforms the perfume bottle into a jewel.
The versatile nature of spray paint opens the field of possibilities in glass tinting. Inspired from a technique dated back three millennia, when it was first applied to Chinese woodwork, its modern execution on glass materials allows for an unparalleled spectrum of results. Translucent or opaque; flat, gradated, or partial color; multicolored, metallic, nacre, or diffractive; shiny or satin; laquering dresses the bottle and modifies its nature. Results can range from super-natural to hyper-natural, the glass likening itself to extraterrestrial material, earthly granite or precious metal. Laquering thus leaves complete freedom to the imagination of both the creator and consumer.
Pad printing palliates the shortcomings of serigraphy and allows for the decoration of concave, convex, and irregular surfaces including the edges of the bottle. Leaving behind the traditional limits of glass printing, pad printing grants a new freedom to the decor: whether following the curves of the bottle or emphasizing its relief, it enters into the third dimension.
From simple legal disclaimers to logos and motifs constitutive of a true graphic identity, serigraphy allows printing with traditional, organic, or ultra-violet enamels, precious metals (gold or platinum), and fired enamels upon either virgin or previously decorated surfaces of the bottle. Perfectly adapted to printing lettering or ornamentation on glass surfaces, serigraphy gives a distinct signature to the bottle.
