Among the many design influ ences of this eclectic period were Gothic, Greek Islamic, and Japa nese. The latter being the most popular. CLUES: Shapes became more angular, smoother, and less flam boyant. The once popular use of carvings and deep modeling was replaced with more linear and light decorations. One of the most lasting and popular examples is American cut glass. Interest began at the 1876 Cen tennial Exposition where several American glass companies show ed their new design concepts. Along with their displays of clear and colored glass that was etched, cut engraved, molded, blown and pressed, was “rich-cut glass” known today as brilliant cut glass. At the time it was intro duced the pieces were mainly used for decorative purposes, not for daily use. Hundreds of patterns were in troduced from 1876 until it tem porarily went out of fashion by the end of World War 1. In the late 1970 s it was being eagerly sought and collected.
