The term leaded glass either refers to:

  • glass containing lead oxide, which increases its density and enhances its refraction and dispersion of light. Or, having lead added as an impediment to the transmission of radiation, as used in aircraft used in testing nuclear weapons.
  • glass panels made by combining multiple small pieces glass, which may be stained, textured or beveled, with cames.
