Frosted glass is produced by the sandblasting or acid etching of clear sheet glass. This creates a pitted surface on one side of the glass pane and has the effect of rendering the glass translucent by scattering the light which passes through, thus blurring images while still transmitting light. It traditionally has between 10 to 20 percent opacity, depending on the preference of the company making it. The process of making it is generally attributed to Marvin Pipkin of General Electric, who in 1919 developed the technique in an effort to give their lightbulbs a more gentle and appealing glow.
