I've been doing stained glass for over 35 years and never seen such a comprehensive article on it's history. My congratulations to you on all your research. Even after all these years, I found I knew far too little about the art I was practicing. I've made glass for many churches, restaurants and state buildings but my work mostly consisted of private homes. I had no idea I was practicing such an ancient art. I plan on teaching again, just so the art carries on. Thank you so much for your insightful article.

At 25? by 25?, it is the largest laminated work of art in the world and it is installed in a museum in Mexico City." I am doing research on this mural by Tamayo. In fact, I have found what appears to be a 14" square of a Tamayo Glass Curtain made in August of 1982, produced by Van Tetterode in Amsterdam. Is this related to the piece installed in "a museum in Mexico City." What is the museum? Can anyone provide more information. I am a Curator for The Mexican Museum in San Francisco, CA where the 14" glass square resides and was a gift to the museum. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The building was built in 1905, The story goes that the windows were floated down the river from Pittsburgh to Shadyside , Ohio. One of the churches founding members was a "Rodefer" of Rodefer Gleason glass in Bellaire, Ohio. My church is interested in identifying the maker of our stained glass windows.

These doors were removed from the Morgan Mansion in the 1960's, located near Seattle, WA. Two of the doors have family crests and one has a boat. I believe the doors were made in the 1800's. I am trying to determine the manufacturer and value of the doors. I would appreciate any input. Thank you. Hello,

My comments are as under: Unbelievable!!! It has travelled such a mind-engrossing path down the ages by the earnest toils and obsession of countless unknown artisans. My sincere respects to them all and to the authors of this site. Have anybody found out the mystery behind the clear white figure of Mary within the stained glass. I think this puzzle continues to this day. By the way, our (Indian) myths of yore also speak of glass and mirror. But no scientifically verifiable authentic information is available I strayed into this site by chance. My comments are as under:
