antique glass

Old decorative windowpanes

Antique glass refers to glassware, windows, or decorative objects made in earlier eras—typically at least a century old.

The term also describes a type of glass deliberately manufactured with bubbles, waves, and slight distortions to mimic the imperfections of old handmade glass: The cabinet doors have antique glass panels.

This reproduction glass appears in restoration work and period-style furniture.
