Description: Stained Glass
Stained glass is a term that is generally used to refer to glass that is made from a coloured material. The history of this kind of glass is long and dates back to more than a thousand years. The term is normally used to allude to church windows as well as windows in important buildings. The traditional way of making stained glass involves use of flat panels though now-a-days this kind of glass also includes 3D structures as well as sculptures.
The term stained glass is also used in modern vernacular and includes anything like residential leadlight and objects d’art that are made out of lead as well as copper foil glassworks. The most well known example of this is the Louis Comfort Tiffany lamps.
Stained glass material is any glass that has colour added to it through addition of metallic salts. Coloured glass is often crafted to form stained glass that contains small sized pieces of glass that are specially arranged to create a desirable pattern or even a particular picture which in turn will be held together with the help of lead strips and which are also supported by rigid frames.
