Glass Definitions:
ArtÃque is a scribed "antique" glass, alive with the surface striations characteristic of mouth blown sheet glass. An Oceanside Glass (formerly Spectrum Glass) exclusive.
Baroque is a "reamy" glass, produced by combining glasses of mismatched compositions. The different glasses "oppose" each other when they are stirred together, creating textured swirls and vivid color contrast. An Oceanside Glass (formerly Spectrum Glass) exclusive.
Cathedrals are single color glasses, available in a variety of textures. Degree of light transmission is directly related to saturation or intensity of the color; clear glass is highly transparent, dark colors will transmit less light.
Catspaw is a reproduction of the original texture produced by Kokomo in 1888 and is highly desirable for restoration work and antique reproductions.
English Muffle is a cathedral glass characterized by a soft pebble-like texture.

Float glass is clear window glass made by rolling molten glass onto a bed of molten tin.
Glue Chip is glass that has been textured by applying molten glue and then peeled away to produce a frost-like pattern.
Iridescent glass contains a thin layer of metallic crystal that has been bonded to glass during sheet forming, creating a colorful, shimmering surface effect.
Opalescent glass is a non-transparent or semi-opaque machine-rolled glass often with two or more colors streaked together.
Streaky cathedral glass is a combination of two or more cathedral colors with no opal content.
Wispy glass are opalescent glass that has some cathedral glass (often clear) added to the mix to increase the translucence.
