Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pepita glass engraving (Spanish: grabado de pepita en vidrio) is a technique of engraving on glass used by artisans of Mexico, in which an aluminum oxide grinding stone or wheel is used in a grinding machine to manually carve out patterns of small, decorative pepita-like shapes in glass objects.According to studio glass craftsman Jos Cruz Guill n, the tradition first began in the Netherlands in the 15th century. It was then brought to Germany and Spain, and then to Mexico in 1524 when Rodrigo de Espinoza opened Mexico's first glass factory, in Puebla.
