Without these dots, the glass could become loose and eventually fall out of the frame. These frits are also there for aesthetic purposes.

    Huh, that’s pretty neat. I always wondered what that was for.

    I wonder if it needs to be dots or if other shapes would do just fine and dots were the cheapest in regard to manufacturing.

      Probably for a smooth transition between the black and the glass. Or maybe both.
