Stained Glass, Hand Painted, Kiln Fired Art Deco Design Panel # 2502-01

This is a leaded stained glass panel made in the traditional method. The glass has been hand painted with vitreous paints which fuse to the glass when kiln fired. The glass in this piece were fired three separate times to achieve the needed effect. The piece was crafted using solder over copper foil (Tiffany Method) and is bordered with lead came and has loops for hanging.

Art Deco Design 12 3/4" x 12 3/4" diamond, hand painted and kiln fired, chain included #2502-01, signed. I grew up around stained glass and have had my own studio for over sixty years.

I still have many similar small pieces from my family that were made 70 to 80 years ago. This piece is new but made in the same way stained glass has been made for centuries. Even after 60 years as a craftsman there is nothing else I would rather do, than to continue to design and craft stained glass.
