Size—Por Sills and Showing Ventilator Setting-eight sheets in thickness to the inch and ispractically uniform in thickness, but show-ing in a measure the variation in color ofopalescent or opal glass. Opalescent Glass varies in thicknessfrom 1, Hj to K^ and also varies in coloralmost witliout limit. It is practically im-possible to get exactly the same shade in twosuccessive meltings of opalescent glass; infact, many of the most beautiful sheets ofopalescent glass have been mere accidentsof manufacture. Where the art glass cutterand glazier is unable to secure the peculiarsliade of color required in cartoon by cuttingfrom any one sheet of glass in his stock heaccomplishes this result by plating severalsheets over each other, thus by a combina-tion of the colors in the different sheets pro-ducing the shade desired.
