[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 9437, member: 147"]These stems are cut, not etched. The cut design has not been polished, that is why it looks frosted. Cutting is done by hand, each piece individually and there can be differences from stem to stem. Etching was done with acid, a resist and patterns. Since there were patterns many of the etch designs are well documented. Because cut designs are done by hand, piece by piece, they were not well documented.
