TITLE/SUBJECT:
Stained Glass Window Plates
BRIEF HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
Colored glass has been used as far back as the ancient Romans and Eqyptians who would use in to make decorative items such as mosaics, jewelry, and containers. In the 4th and 5th centuries Muslim countries had perfected ways to make stained glass. Stained glass windows became very popular in the Middle Ages as a way to relay stories through pictures, especially in churches, since most people could not read. Modern stained glass is used in a variety of ways including lamps, the most well known being Tiffany stained glass, made popular by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1899.
