Hi Could somebody confirm I have used the correct term to describe this window? Thanks --Golden Wattle talk 23:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This window has leadlight set into a fanlight. The fanlight is the semi-circular window, including decorative woodwork, above the door.

This leadlight utilises Cathedral glass (the knobbly transparent background glass) and streaky or opalescent glass of the type that Tiffany made popular. Tiffany glass The style here is rather Art Nouveau.

Sorry to be so long replying. I've been away. --Amandajm 10:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expand scope

[edit]

This article only deals with colored glass supported by a metal frame. However, the Qamariya technique in Yemen for example uses plaster, ... to hold the colored glass. It's a bit like a bottle wall but it uses colored shards, and aligns it in specific patterns.

Increase scope of article, mention the technique KVDP (talk) 11:26, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
