colored glass

Cathedral window material

Colored glass is glass that has been tinted by adding metallic oxides or other compounds during manufacture, producing transparent or translucent material in various hues.

It appears in stained glass windows, decorative bottles, and art objects.

The afternoon sun streamed through the colored glass, casting blue and red patterns across the floor.
