According to Wight (Molten Color, Glassmaking in Antiquity, p. 42), an innovation of the time "was to create mosaic glass objects that not only used cut segments of a glass cane but also were patterned with longer cane pieces that were then molded into vessel shapes. ... While many of the ribbon glass vessels are extremely colorful, glassmakers continued to try to replicate nature by combining colors and patterns that imitated naturally banded stone such as agate and sardonyx."
