A correction to my post 102 further up the thread (see quote below from that thread and I've underlined the relevant part).  In that thread I mentioned that in my view Lithyalin would fall within the group of opaque glass.  This is not true.  Lithyalin as far as I can deduce, is an effect on glass of making it look marbled.  Originally (again as far as I read), it was done on hyalith glass, but I have also found Lithyalin glass done on translucent glass.

'The reason for the thoughts above are that I have also been musing on the following (again these are just my thoughts and open to correction and discussion :) )

That there are three types of glass created in the batch:
-  Transparent   (Adjective (of a material or article) Allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen )
- Translucent   (Adjective (of a substance) Allowing light, but not detailed images, to pass through; semi-transparent)
- Opaque          (Adjective Not able to be seen through; not transparent)

So for example;
-    flint, or amethyst or cranberry glass or any colour transparent glass would fit under ‘Transparent’
-   the examples of milchglass or lattimo or hyalith or lithyalin (just a few I could think of) would all fit under ‘Opaque’
-   opaline glass would fit under ‘Translucent’
