Opal glass

Opal glass is a kind of glass porcelain. White, the symbol of purity, is the most mysterious color. Opal glass, originating from Venice, Italy in the 16th century, is a kind of glass material in an opaque or translucent, milky white or tinged color, which can be blown or compacted into all manner of shapes. It was once called milky white opaque glass by glass makers and is now called opal glass.

In general, glass is a non-crystalline substance and a kind of super-cooled liquid. Therefore, if glass is kept at an appropriate temperature for a long time, it will precipitate crystallization, which is known as devitrification. Usually, the crystals resulting from glass devitrification will have large coarse grains (5-50um). Also, like opacified glass, the crystallization will have a very small volume. By utilizing this phenomenon of devitrification, people artificially control types and growth of crystallization, making part or all of the glass become an aggregate of micro crystallines (less than 1ym) — which then becomes opal glass.
