Molatura and battitura (cold-work and wheel-grinding) are techniques, in use for many years, in which the craftsman gouges into the glass, creating different textures on its surface, or to remove the shining, reflective quality of the glass in order to create opaque areas which are pleasant to the touch.
When the object has multiple layers of coloured glass, the deep incisions of the battitura technique are employed to remove the first layer of colour, revealing the colourful layers underneath.
