beveled glass window

Here's what I've found: http://images.google.fr/images?svnum=10&hl=fr&lr=&q=bevel+window

I guess they're named after the name of the tool.

Is anyone else willing to give it a try?

Hello M2L

There seem to be at least 3 meanings for 'bevelled glass':



1. cold glass whose edges have been ground and polished to an angle other than 90 degrees.

2. Glass with a three-dimensional pattern.

3. Glass with a slanted edge that has been cut to achieve a prismatic effect.

Number 2 looks like the best bet, window-wise, as in the picture

As always, context would help. Otherwise, I go with definition no. 1 as the most common use. I would call a lot of the Google thumbnail images above, 'leaded glass'. I think only those leaded glass windows that contain angled edges to the glass are considered beveled leaded glass windows. See close-up of one:
