Clear or tinted carrier glass is overlaid with one or more layers of colored glass. Flashing is often also called plated or cased glass, but the processes are different.

Flashing: The application of a very thin layer of glass of one color over a layer of contrasting color. This is achieved by dipping a gather of hot glass into a crucible containing hot glass of the second color. The upper layer may be too thin to be worked in relief. After the piece is dipped in glass of a contrasting color, it is blown to final form.

Cased glass (Overlay glass): A technique of putting successive layers of different colors of glass over an object. Sometimes cased glass is cut away to expose the layers of color.
