Hi,

I am not familiar with the term "graniglia"..........perhhaps it is Italian for small pieces of glass (frit)?

Frit is English, Graniglia is Italian.

Both mean small pieces of glass. Most often, "graniglia" refers to small pieces of glass that have been fused or melted together but still leaving a rough or granular texture on the outside. Kind of like tack fusing frit onto a sheet of glass, but not necessarily made that way.
