Glass is characterized as a hard, brittle, translucent, and commonly transparent substance, white or colored, having a conchoidal fracture, and made by fusing together sand or silica with lime, potash, soda, or lead oxide. It is used for window panes and mirrors, for articles of table and culinary use, for lenses, and various articles of ornament.

Beach glass
(glass) A type of glass formed when glass bottles are left on a lake or ocean shore for a long period of time. Waves and sand act as a natural tumbler which smoothing out the glass and leaving a soft frosted surface.
Beveled Glass
(glass) Plate glass that has its perimeter ground and polished at an angle.
Blown glass
(glass) Glasswork produced by the the process of gathering molten glass onto the end of a blowpipe and forming it into a variety of shapes by blowing air through the blowpipe and manipulating the glass as it is rotated.

(glass) Blown glass that has two or more layers of different colors. The upper layers may be etched or sandblasted to reveal the glass underneath.

Enameled Glass
(glass) Glass decorated with particles of translucent glass or glass-like material, usually of a contrasting color, which fuses to the surface under heat. Multi-colored designs, as well as monochrome coatings, can be created.
Etched Glass
(glass) Glass decorated, carved or otherwise marked by sandblasting or the use of hydrofluoric acid. The glass is first covered with an acid-resistant wax or gum, the design is drawn through the resist with a point, and the exposed glass is etched.

Glass waste or scrap

Glass is described as a hard, brittle, generally transparent or translucent material typically formed from the rapid cooling of liquefied minerals. Most commercial glass is made from a molten mixture of soda ash, sand, and lime.

The term glass is used to denote all materials whose chemical structure is similar to that of a liquid, but whose viscosity at a normal temperature is so high that they can be described as solids.

Mineral glass is obtained by overcooling a melt and is hence also often described as an overcooled liquid. In actual fact, glass is not a solid but even in its solid state displays a certain viscosity which is not noticeable in everyday use.
