Encyclopedia > Frosted glass

Frosted glass is produced by the acid etching of clear sheet glass, or sand-blasting. It has the effect of rendering the glass translucent, obscuring the view while still passing light. It has been suggested that strong acid be merged into this article or section. ... Glass can be made transparent and flat, or into other shapes and colours as shown in this ball from the Verrerie of Brehat in Brittany. ... In optics, transparency is the property of being transparent, or allowing light to pass. ...
