Note:

Refers to threads of glass that are applied as a

decoration, generally on the body, foot, or handle of a vessel. The threads may be la

or in a pattern or chain. Trailings were first seen in ancient Roman glass, and were also popular in medieval and later glass. They are distinct from "threadings," which are independent designs that are often partially free-standing.
