Stained and Leaded art glass

The most famous types of leaded glass are the stained glass windows in religious places like churches and cathedrals. Stained glass can also be a simple, solid color in a pattern. However, the small pieces and the nature of the glass usually make it hard to see through leaded glass.

Painted  glass 

Ceramic fit glass

This process involves screen printing ceramic frit paint onto the glass and fusing it onto the surface during the toughening or heat strengthening process. The result is a tough decorative glass.

Smart glass:

An advanced technology allows privacy glass that can alternate between translucent and transparent. The glass has an embedded layer of liquid crystal molecules that disperse light and obscure the glass but still allow light to pass. However, at the flick of a switch, the liquid crystals will align themselves to allow a clear view.
