5 Different Styles of Colored Glass

Glass is typically a translucent material with a slight tint of blue, white or green. Glass can be manipulated into other colors by adding certain minerals/metals during the production process, or simply back painting the glass after production.  The 5 different types of colored glass offered here at CBD Glass are Back-painted, Opaque, Translucent, Rusty and Colored Glass.
