Etching Paste or Sandblasting Glass Lantern

I'd like to know if there's anyway to take a clear lantern globe and create the translucent effect like the one I've pictured. I'm new to this so I'm not sure if glass can be dyed or dipped in a thinned paint and left to air dry, kilned, etc.
Point me in a direction and thanks so much for your time and the great site!

Milly's reply: Hi Tom, thanks for your question. I think your easiest solution would be to
lightly sandblast the glass globe with a very fine sand. It will make it slightly translucent, but it will leave it vulnerable to fingerprint marks. Your local stained glass supplier may have a sandblaster and be able to help.
Alternatively, you could try finding a company that do acid-dipping, and get them to do it - but this is expensive and probably not worth it unless you had a job lot!
Hope that helps.
