As relates to items in the Acid Cut Back or acid etched category, ( or Cameo Etched as it is called in the 1932 Steuben catalog) all being correct descriptive terms, the point is that here we are dealing with an item of low quantitative output.
In an article published in the May 1963 issue of HOBBIES it was stated in fact, here, as in no other glass, it can be safely said each item is a rarity unto itself.
Rarity in Steuben has to be more finely divided, compartmentalized, if you will. We have rarity of color, of a particular shape, of a combination of colors, of a specific homogeneous glass item, and so on.
Usually the acid cutbacks have one portion glossy and one portion acidized. Some are completely acidized.
