Distinguished by its translucency, allowing a portion of the light to penetrate while simultaneously scattering and diffusing it, leading to less distinct visibility of objects on the other side. The degree of translucency varies depending on the intensity of the gray tint applied to the glass. Lighter gray tints allow for more distinct visibility of objects compared to darker tints.

The gray hue in smoked glass arises from the tinting process, which involves adding substances to the glass to reduce the amount of light that passes through it. Therefore, when people use the term "smoked glass," they are often referring to gray glass.

Yes, tinted glass can be tempered. It is not only available in its raw glass form but can also undergo a tempering process.
