Fusing

Firing at a temperature between 750 et 850 °C of multiple layers of superposed glass, a glass support and decorated glass, to join them by thermal fusion.

Thermal fusion

Firing of a piece of glass on an embossed support to a temperature beyond its point of fusion so as to give it a special shape..

These latter two techniques, fusing and thermal fusion, can be used together.
