Opalescent: Opalescent glass is made with
a combination of white glass and a cathedral color. The opacity of this type
of glass is in relation to the amount of white glass used in its creation.
Our dense opal base glass uses a higher consistency of white glass than our
light opal base glass. Because of this change in mixtures, dense opal base
glass is much more opaque than our light opal base glasses.
Wispy:
Wispy Opalescent glass uses a mixture of opaque white glass and a cathedral
color. During production, the white glass is added to the cathedral glass
and mixed together giving wispy opalescent glass soft touches of white in
each shadow.
Cathedral: Cathedral glass made up of a
single color. Opacity of the glass is dependent to the color of the sheet.
Lighter colors will allow more light to pass through and darker colors will
prevent light from passing through.
Streaky: Streaky glass is manufactured by
adding a color or colors to a clear glass base. The color is mixed with the
clear base to provide streaks of color throughout the sheet. The
transparency of streaky glass is dependent on the colors used.
