Default What is seeded Glass?

I'm looking for kitchen cabinets, and one of them had glass doors that were
described as having seeded glass. Can someone tell me what that glass might
look like? Thanks;-).

It has small air bubbles in the glass.

You might have better luck asking for it as seedy glass.

Spectrum makes a clear glass with slight bubbles/pits that is called
Seedy Spectrum 100-SS. We use it in many cabinet doors for kitchens.
There is a front and back side so just make sure the "pits or seeds"
are on the inside and the smoother side is facing out for cleaning
purposes. It is usually about $6 Canadian a sq. ft (retail).

I've looked at that stuff, what's it cut like? I've always opted for
using a smooth "antique" clear when doing background just because it
cuts so easily and I don't want it to really stand out, but I've
always wondered if the seedy spectrum ran predictably enough to switch
to that. I'm not god's gift to cutting....so I sometimes will choose
sub-optimal glass when it scores easily and runs smoothly.
