Patterned, Figured or Rolled Glass

It is a decorative and translucent glass with figures or patterns on one face or both surfaces. In addition to diffusing light and obstructing visibility from the outside, the figures soften the interior lighting. It is manufactured by a method similar to float glass wherein the molten glass is passed through rollors instead of floating on a molten tin bath. These metallic rollors are engraved with some patterns or designs, which are cast into the formed glass. The glass itself is quite low priced and can be used in most applications for lighting but no see through. This type of glass is usually more brittle or fragile and less convenient to clean.
