Glass is cooled to a solid state without the coming-back of crystallization; heat can melt glass again to a liquid form. Glass can also be clear, translucent or opaque. Color varies with the added ingredients.Glass, when heated to a certain degree, can work like plastic and be shaped by means of several techniques. Depending on the composition, some glass will melt at temperatures as low as 500 C (900 F); others melt only at 1650 C (3180 F). Mouth-blown glass, which is typical of Murano art glass, is made from this outstanding property. When glass is in the hands of a Murano artist, it works like magic.In the old days, glass melts in clay pots heated by wood or coal. In modern glass plants, most glass is melted in large furnaces heated by gas, oil, or electricity. Coal is also used w supply is plenty.
