Crown Glass

A type of flat glass historically made by spinning molten glass into a thin, circular disc, which is then flattened into panes

What Is Crown Glass?

Crown Glass is a type of glass characterized by its high clarity and low distortion, produced using a traditional method where the glass is spun into a circular shape and then flattened. It is commonly used in historic windows and glazing applications due to its distinctive appearance and optical properties. Modern glass manufacturing techniques have largely replaced crown glass, but it remains valued for its aesthetic qualities.
