The art of light
Vision Art Glass – Opalescent, Streaky &
Translucent glass
Definitions.
Opalescent glass: can be one solid colour, but it is generally a mixture of two or
more colours with streaks and swirls. Opalescent stained glass is generally
translucent but often almost opaque. Unlike antique pot-metal glass that is
relatively translucent, opalescent glass reflects as well as refracts light.
Translucent glass: is a type of glass that allows light to pass through it but is not
clear enough to see through ultimately. This type of glass is often used in
applications where light transmission is important, but privacy is also a concern.
Streaky Glass: Two or more coloured glasses mixed to create a multi-coloured glass
sheet in which each colour can be seen separately as well as where they intersect to
make new colour(s).
