That's how window glass used to be made. The disc was cut into pieces. The middle bit, with the lump, was the cheapest — so you'd see it in the window of a pub rather than a rich person's house.

How would you cut that into pieces in a way that looks good in a rich person's house? It doesn't seem large enough. I see the part with the lump, but it seems like if you cut the rest up, that part won't be usable in anything else.

When glass was made this way, panes were small.
