摘要

A decorative glass sheet (100) and a method and apparatus for forming the same. The decorative glass sheet (100) includes a glass panel (100) having opposed surfaces with at least one decorative band (110) formed in at least one of the surfaces. The decorative band (110) includes a roughened band (120) which provides a frosted appearance. A remaining portion (140) of the surface is not covered by the decorative band. The decorative band contrasts with the remaining portion (140) of the surface to provide a unique visual effect including the simulation of a muntin on the glass panel (100). In preferred embodiments, one or more straight walled grooves (130) are formed in the surface parallel to and immediately adjacent the roughened band (120).
