Classification-driven material

This clear yellow glass tile fragment was found on a Home Affairs Department planter in Hung Hom. Glass tiles like this can be found across Hong Kong, though this one is unusual as a clear glass--necessitating careful attention to the adhesive layer color. The exposed glass-clad planter corner was clearly damaged by an impact, and the resulting damage broke tiles in this public area into sharp shards.
