彩釉玻璃是将无机釉料（又称油墨），印刷到玻璃表面，然后经烘干，钢化或热化加工处理，将釉料永久结于玻璃表面而得到一种耐磨，耐酸碱的装饰性玻璃产品。
Color glaze glass is an inorganic glaze (also known as ink), which is printed to the surface of glass, and then dried, tempered or heated to process the glaze on the glass surface to get a wear-resistant, acid and alkali decorative glass product.
在西方建筑当中，特别是教堂，彩绘玻璃是最为常见的，这也是艺术的精华所在。因此人们在参观欧洲和北美的教堂的时候，都会被彩绘玻璃的美和丰富多彩的故事所吃惊与着迷，巴黎圣母院、圣礼拜堂、沙特尔大教堂、科隆大教堂……让人神往！
