Satin glass is the name for any glass that has been chemically treated to give it a satin finish. The term "satin glass" is frequently used to refer to a collectible type of pressed glass. Satin glass can be used for decorative items. However, satin glass is also used to provide privacy where the full transparency of glass is undesirable. The satin finish is produced by treating the glass with hydrofluoric acid or hydrofluoric acid fumes. Satin glass was first made as decorative pressed glass in England and the United States during the 1880s. Many companies have produced this type of satin glass. It is similar to milk glass in that it is opaque, and has decorative surface patterns molded into it, however, satin glass has a satin, rather than glossy surface. Satin glass is typically tinted with a pastel color, blue is the most common.
