No- this is real glass, NOT plastic!
We pride ourselves in offering you a quality glass item like you would find in a tiffany window or lamp for your own home. Recently we have seen an influx of imitation "stained glass" using an acrylic base, puffy paint ""solder" lines and a paint stain to create the effect, and marketed as "better than the real thing".
THIS IS NOT WHAT WE DO.
We use real glass, and assemble the pieces with a tin/lead mixture solder. Any paint enhancements are applied with paints and stains specifically designed for glass use.
Real stained glass is timeless, resilient, and beautiful. It won't fade, melt, or warp. It is an artform that has been diligently developed and practiced since the middle ages, and has been found in archaeology sites as dating back as far as the 7th century.
So if you'd like a piece of fine art and craftsmanship suited for the modern geek home, you've come to the right place...if you're looking for a cheap piece of stained glass effect plastic to hang over your kid's bed that won't shatter if he throws it, then we're probably not the medium for you...
