Stained-glass
Stained glass refers to coloured glass as a material or art and architectural works created from it. Although it is traditionally made in flat panels and used as windows, the creations of modern stained glass artists also include three-dimensional structures and sculpture. Modern vernacular usage has often extended the term "stained glass" to include domestic lead light and '' objets d'art'' created from glasswork, for example in the famous lamps of Louis Comfort Tiffany. As a material ''stained glass'' is glass that has been coloured by adding metallic salts during its manufacture. It may then be further decorated in various ways.

Painted details and yellow-coloured silver stain are often used to enhance the design. The term ''stai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
