Buy old stained glass windows

Various themes have been created in stained glass since before AD, through the Victorian era, and into the modern day, from religious murals to decorative flowers. For homeowners with classical tastes, the presence of stained glass windows in a structure speaks to its history and refinement, and the addition of an original can add the character and class their abode was missing.

When you select your window, remember that antique pieces are often at least 50 years between their birth in the bellows and their eventual appearance in a home. The creation of stained glass uses hand-blown and rolling techniques. Artists use several different techniques in making hand-blown glass including cylinder, muff, and crown. Cylinder glass is created by the artist blowing stained glass into a cylinder iron mold and placing it in a high-temperature oven.

It unfolds into a flat sheet when hot. Muff stained glass is created by blowing a long bubble of stained glass that is then baked in the oven until it becomes a flat sheet. Glassblowers blow stained glass into a hollow globe before the globe before spinning it out of the mold into a flat piece of stained glass in the hot oven. There are two common methods used to create rolled glass. The artist either heats the stained glass in the oven before rolling it through a wringer or they roll the hot stained glass with a special tool that looks like a large rolling pin.
