other questions about glass

I'm really interested in glass pipes. To me, it's an art. I love to think that someone took the time out of their day and blew a pipe by hand, putting their individual touch to it. Each one is special and unique.

But how do you judge quality of a piece? I read an article in the shop section of grass city but I can't find it anymore.

So I have a few questions?

What is a "frit design"? Can you show me clearly with a photo?

What is "strawberry style"? Is that in reference to a funnel shaped bowl?

What is "dichro"?

What is gold or silver fuming? How is it more attractive?

What is "inside out"work?

What is a magnifier? What is a "maria on the stem" and a horn?

What is the advantage of a flattened mouth-piece?

Is Pyrex less attractive than true glass?

How does glass change colors? I have a theory but I want to be sure?

Is there an advantage to bubblers? I hear people say they get higher with bubblers and bongs?

What's a "bridge" on a spoon or something? And why would I want it?

Is a hammer really any different from a spoon?

What is "dry colored"?

What is a carb? How should it be used? Does size matter?
