Large Sized Stained Glass
 

I have a large stained glass window in my home. The center piece of
glass is a circle cut from a 30X30 inch piece of red glass. It is
broken and needs to be replaced. I've gone to several web sites
related to stained glass but it seems the largest width of glass
available is 24 inches. I can get it longer than 24 inches but not
wider. Does anyone know of a supplier who can make a 30X30 inch piece
of red transparent stained glass? Or perhaps there is a way I can take
clear glass and make it red. Any thoughts, suggestions, or help is
appriciated.

PS. The house is an 1895 Victorian and has three stained glass
windows. The front window is a spectacular stained glass window and
this is the one with the broken piece. To see pictures of it go to the
link below. The picture from the outside of the house really does not
do the window justice becasue the colors are all muted. Click on the
link to see pictures of the inside of the house to see how nice the
window really is. It is very impressive to think that it is made out
of glass and wood. It is a real work of art.

If the glass is cathedral (machine made), Wissmach and Kokomo glass is
32" wide. If It is antique flashed glass then you need to look for
"commerial" flashed glass, it's about 40" wide.

Hello,

Don't know if this is helpful or not but Whittemore-Durgin's (U.S., Mass.) sell's Cathedral
Glass, full sheets up to, "8 square feet". Their web site is at:

Yes Greg that should have been a "+". And I have no Idea what the cost
would be. I'm living in 27107, I bought the piece from a local maker of
church windows. That might be a good source in your area. I bought it as a
48 x 48 through.

Try for Kokomo Opalescent Glass company. They have a listing for Red
Cathedral (catherdral indicates translucency). Their stock number is
41L or GKK41L. Their full sheet size is 32 inches by 41 inches, so
should be large enough. The Kokomo company has been manufacturing in
the US since 1888, so there is a slight chance it might be the
manufacturer of the original.

Good luck, gk

Actually....Kokomo glass is manufactured in two sizes: Large: 32" x
72" - 84" and Small: 32" x 36". The larger sheets are generally cut in
half for shipping.
