16th
Century Stained Glass Transom Window with Reproduction Roundel
The window pictured below is a modified reproduction of a 16th century stained glass transom window. The window is intended to represent a 16th century transom window that would be seen above a larger clear functional window, the center roundel is based on an original roundel created in 1522 that can currently be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the Cloisters Collection. It was created using vitreous paints which are paints that are applied to the glass and are then fired to temperatures exceeding 1000° fusing them to the glass permanently. The yellow coloring is produced using what is called silver stain. Silver stain is a pigment that is applied to the glass and then fired again to over 1000°, after it has been fired a yellow pigment will have "soaked" into the glass giving it a light amber to dark orange color depending on the amount and concentration used. The clear glass in the background is a clear seedy reproduction glass. The amber/yellow edge glass is a yellow antique glass. The original center roundel image is fairly unaltered done on a clear antique glass. The four smaller amber roundels are mouth blown roundels produced in Germany.
