What do you mean textured on both sides...what kind of texture?

The glass is deep red and has a tight whorled pattern on one side (like
coarse leather) while the other side dips in and out with a period of
about
ten millimetres. To describe it is difficult, but if I tell you that the
back is like the back of a bar of nut chocolate, where the nuts make the
smooth chocolate bulge in and out yes?
I saw it in a glazier's shop and it was cheap, so grabbed it while it was
going. It's made by Pearsons but probably years ago. It is old glass.

This will take a little practice but I would probably try the same technique
we used on Drapery Glass before band saws. Remember?

Lay the pattern out on the side that is "dips in and out,like the back of a
bar of nut chocolate" and score the best you can, slowly, precisely, then
tap the glass on the opposite side, the run will go from one scored spot to
the next when done accurately. Sounds tougher than it is, just takes a
little practice. For lack of a better description, "score the high spots"
and tap till connected. its thin glass, should work well. Don't know if
they will stay fused, but that's a way to cut it.
