In the days before the invention of the float glass process, flat glass was spun vertically at the end of a mandrel... that "eye' is typical of the piece that would remain (at the mandrel) after the rest of the "flat" glass had been cut away from the spun disk.

Bulls-eye Glass. ... A bullseye (manufacturers' spelling) is the result of producing crown glass, a common process until the 19th century. The bullseye comes from a mouth-blown rondel that has been cut down to make square or rectangular panes for windows
