This type of glass is called vitrite, a slag glass that is commonly used as a dielectric — an electrical insulator, most prominently used in the base of common incandescent light bulbs. This substance consisted mainly of ground glass along with copious amounts of lead oxide and manganese oxide, the latter being responsible for the dark purple color.
