opaque glass
Light without view
Opaque glass is glass that blocks light rather than transmitting it, so you cannot see through it.
The opacity may come from additives, surface treatments, or manufacturing techniques.
Opaque glass appears in architectural applications where privacy matters—bathroom windows, office partitions—and in decorative objects where the material's color or texture is the point: The lamp had a shade of milky opaque glass.
