BEVELLING
Beveled Glass is usually made by taking thick Glass and creating an angled surface cut around the entire periphery. Bevels act as prisms in sunlight creating an interesting color diffraction which both highlights the Glass work and provides a spectrum of colors which would ordinarily be absent in clear float Glass
