The windowpane oyster is a bivalve marine mollusk in the family of Placunidae. It is edible, but valued more for its shell. The oyster's shells have been used for thousands of years as a glass substitute because of their durability and translucence.

Capiz shells are also used as raw materials for glue, chalk and varnish. Distrib
