etched glass

Acid-treated window

Etched glass is glass with designs cut into its surface, typically through acid treatment or abrasive blasting.

The process creates a frosted, translucent effect that obscures visibility while allowing light through.

Etched glass appears in decorative windows, doors, mirrors, and drinkware: The bathroom door had etched glass panels for privacy.
