=== Modern Art === {{Main|Studio glass|Art glass|Glass art}} The 19th century saw a revival in ancient glassmaking techniques including [[cameo glass]], achieved for the first time since the Roman Empire, initially mostly for pieces in a [[neoclassicism|neo-classical]] style. The [[Art Nouveau]] movement made great use of glass, with [[René Lalique]], [[Émile Gallé]], and [[Daum (studio)|Daum of Nancy]] in the first French wave of the movement, producing coloured vases and similar pieces, often in cameo glass or [[lustre glass]] techniques.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Art of Glass: Art Nouveau to Art Deco |last=Arwas |first=Victor |year=1996 |pages=1–54 |publisher=Papadakis Publisher |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bZsuJ90UAtIC&pg=PP1 |isbn=978-1-901092-00-4}}</ref> [[Louis Comfort Tiffany]] in America specialised in [[stained glass]], both secular and religious, in panels and his famous lamps. The early 20th century saw the large-scale factory production of glass art by firms such as [[Waterford Crystal|Waterford]] and [[Lalique]]. Small studios may hand-produce glass artworks. Techniques for producing glass art include [[glassblowing|blowing]], kiln-casting, fusing, slumping, [[pâte de verre]], flame-working, hot-sculpting and cold-working. Cold work includes traditional stained glass work and other methods of shaping glass at room temperature. Objects made out of glass include vessels, [[paperweight collecting|paperweights]], [[marbles]], [[bead]]s, sculptures and [[installation art]].<ref name="V&A A-Z">{{cite web |title=A-Z of glass |url=https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/a-z-of-glass |publisher=Victoria and Albert Museum |access-date=9 March 2020}}</ref> <gallery mode="nolines"> Image:Portland Vase BM Gem4036 n5.jpg|The [[Portland Vase]], Roman [[cameo glass]], about 5–25 AD File:Medallion St Demetrios Louvre OA6457.jpg|Byzantine [[cloisonné enamel]] plaque of [[St Demetrios]], c. 1100, using the ''senkschmelz'' or "sunk" technique File:Gallé, nancy, vaso clematis, 1890-1900.JPG|[[Émile Gallé]], Marquetry glass vase with clematis flowers (1890–1900) File:Vase (Perruches) by René Jules Lalique, 1922, blown four mold glass - Cincinnati Art Museum - DSC04355.JPG|Glass vase by [[Art Nouveau]] artist [[René Lalique]] File:Clara driscoll per tiffany studios, lampada laburnum, 1910 ca. 02.jpg|[[Clara Driscoll (glass designer)|Clara Driscoll]] [[Tiffany lamp]], [[laburnum]] pattern, c. 1910 File:Glass.sculpture.kewgardens.london.arp.jpg|A glass sculpture by [[Dale Chihuly]], ''The Sun'', at the "Gardens of Glass" exhibition in Kew Gardens, London File:GlassFlowers1HMNH.jpg|The [[Glass Flowers]] by [[Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka]], exhibited at the [[Harvard Museum of Natural History]] </gallery>
