It is created by dipping a small blob of dark glass into a pot of light-colored glass, and then blowing the blob into a bubble in which the distinct layers are formed. It is used to make stained glass windows, valued over "pot-metal glass" for certain effects, because the thinner layer of color allows more light to pass through the window, while the saturated color of pot-metal glass results in a darker interior. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
