Many Spectrum

glasses are currently
available with an Ir-
idescent surface.
At temperatures
upwards of 1000
degrees, we flash-
fire a remarkably
uniform, micro-thin
layer of metallic crystal
to the glass surface, creat-
ing a radiant exhibition
of jewel-like color across
the sheet. Spectrum Iridescent
is vintage Mother of Pearl, an art
glass favorite since the turn of the
century.

Throughout the catalog, glasses
available with an iridescent coating
are denoted by a small iridescent

The Nature of Art Glass

Unlike common window glass, which is perfectly smooth and flawless, art glass seeks visual character
through aesthetic “imperfections.” These characteristics mimic the handmade sheet glass of centuries past.
They come in the form of textural waves and striations, random bubbles and a variety of other natural ef-
fects. Art glass achieves its personality through these peculiarities, and no two sheets are ever identical.

General Specifications:

Sheet Size: Standard glass sheets measure 24 x 48 inches (61 x 122 cm). Waterglass® sheets

vary in width from 19 to 21 inches (48-53 cm). Custom length sheets are available

on special order.

Glass Thickness: Most products are approximately 1/8 inch (about 3 mm) thick. Intentional thick-

thin variation occurs in textured products like Waterglass®, Baroque™, and Ripple.

Glass Weight: Glass alone weighs approximately 1.6 Lbs./sq. ft. (7.76 K/sq. M)

Spectrum glass is available from a select family of wholesale and retail suppliers worldwide. Ask your sup-
plier or contact Spectrum for a complete sample box of Spectrum products.
