At p. 72 of The Glass of Frederick Carder by Paul V. Gardner, the author states in a section of Cintra, A variation of the striped technique called Lace glass was made about 1930. These pieces were usually somewhat thinner than Cintra pieces made in a cased crystal glass, and contained more bubbles. Specimens of the short-lived lace glass are extremely rare. About sixteen shapes were made, usually with blue and white, pink and white, or black and white stripings. (See catalog numbers 7159-60, 7164-70, 7193-94, 7196-98).
