Opaline glass is prepared by adding impurities (as fluorine compounds) in the production process. It is used especially for ornamental pressed glass and diffuses light without serious loss of lighting efficiency.
Opaline glass is generally multiple coloured and has a matte surface which is often gilded or painted.
