CHAPTER

70Glass and glassware

In plain English

This heading covers glass products used for paving, such as blocks, slabs, and bricks, as well as small decorative items like mosaics and leaded lights. It also includes glass that is multicellular or has a foam structure. One category specifically identifies glass cubes and smallwares, whether or not they are on a backing, intended for decorative uses like mosaics. The other category groups multicellular or foam glass in various shapes like blocks and panels with the pressed or moulded glass paving items.
