Hey Mike,
These are called bugs, and they appear on a piece of glass to show that the
glass is tempered, or laminated, to some standard. Think of it as a
certification stamp, like CSA or Underwriters. I forget for sure, but I
think the heart is the British Glass Standard mark (thought it could be a
manufacturers mark). All glass in a car must have one of these somewhere. I
would think the glass in the cabinet is tempered, therefore the mark.
