I prefer to use glass but where I have used an alternative, I have specified it below.
Wherever an item is marked below as ‘sold', it may be possible to create another unique example of the pattern using similar or different colours.
Obviously where the foundation of the piece is an ancient piece of glass (such as Bourbon on the Rocks below), then any kind of duplication would be difficult, if not impossible.

Father Christmas and the Christ child
This decorative leaded panel in the shape of a church window, frames a GlassMasters’ pane of "Father Christmas and the Christ child". The original window was by Louis Comfort Tiffany, the Glassmasters illustrator was Thomas Nast.
Glassmasters
Glassmasters was a company in Richmond VA which silk screened museum-quality reproductions onto glass using transparent enamel paint. Glassmasters was in business for 40 years, producing stained glass of the highest order. They applied translucent colors one at a time, drying them, as many as 16 times, then kiln-firing to 1100 degrees to permanently fuse them to the glass. They produced works for many museums and foundations: Tiffany, Frank Lloyd Wright, Disney, etc. Unfortunately, Glassmasters went out of business in 2005.

Lily Corner with a touch of purple
This is an example of the 'Lily Corner' shown as 'sold' below, with a touch of purple.
It is so difficult to get good colour representation in these photographs - it looks better than this! You may be able to spot the pink and green shades in the iridised clear glass in the flower.

I can design custom panels to your specification and design, perhaps using stationery headers as a model.
One such, is this - a shop sign, made for friends in Pontivy, based upon the logo used in their publicity.
Background colours, fonts, font colours and design of your choice.
Price: For this panel would be calculated as a ‘custom build’.

Fitted Splashback
This fitted splashback is installed on a light box with a sheet of plain glass to protect it.
Installation in or around the Brittany area can be done by us.
I recommend the use of a qualified electrician to fit the light fittings, and of course a qualified plumber to move the taps about if necessary.
Price: For this panel would be calculated as a ‘custom build’.
This particular piece was created in UK from a pattern taken from a book (Ed Sibbett, Jr., "Victorian Stained Glass Pattern Book", Dover (USA), 1979) which allows me a limited copyright. It was originally destined, with its partner, for the front door in our last house, but we moved first. The other half of the pair will be hung over our transom window in this house.
