Cut Glass Is ErauiIe.

Cut glass probably would break more
easily than uncut glass. The pattern
in cut glass is cut by means of grind
ing wheels. Uncut glass patterns are
usually nodded. The angles in cut
glass are better defined and sharper.
The cutter also may, in some cases,
drive lis wheel little deeper than in
other spots. Obviously, the glass at
such points would be thinner and more
fragile
