- For ornamental and functional glassware that was produced in large volumes in factory settings, but with subtle differences to give individual characteristics to each piece, use "Art Glass" from "Household Accessories".
- For decorative works that are also functional, may also use a term to describe the function of the object (for example, "Bowl" or "Cup" from "Food Service T&E").
