Description
1) A hard, clear optical glass made of soda-lime. Crown glass has a low dispersion and a low refractive index.
2) An old form of window glass produced by spinning a globe of glass to form a thin, flat circle. The flattened sheet had a thicker raised center that was called a crown or bull's eye. Crown glass was made in France in the 17th century and was considered to be a high quality glass. It was typically a light blue or green color with a bright fire-polished finish. Circles were made with diameters up to 1.2 meters (44 inches). They were cut into smaller rectangular pieces for use.
