"Treewings" Bathroom Stained Glass Window
This stained glass window is installed in a first floor powder room of a lovely home in a Philadelphia suburb. It's design was inspired by the customer's collection of artifacts related to leaves and trees. Maple seedlings, those winged fruits of the big trees, are repeated three times---in stipple ice white opalescent glass and in a brownish-pink mouth-blown (antique) glass. Filling out the design are pale amber mouth-blown and burgundy and white "catspaw" mottled opalescent glasses. The combination is not only colorful and textural, it provides privacy for the bathroom while allowing some view out. These opalescent glasses were hand-made in Pennsylvania and Oregon. A graceful nature theme complements the decor of the bathroom and the adjoining sitting room. This window is about 17" square.

Paulukonis Studio
We are a husband-wife team who design and create stained glass windows, artful stained glass objects, and functional fused glass for homes, businesses, and public spaces. For more than thirty-five years we have been creating windows, glass panels, and light fixtures tailored to specific sites. Now we also offer kiln-formed glass. We love working with mouth-blown and handmade glass because of its rich beauty, and our delight in the glass is shown through innovative design and excellent fabrication in lead and copper foil techniques as well as fusing and slumping.
Whether you desire an architectural installation, accessories like a lamp or light vessel, a piece of stained glass art for your personal collection, colorful tableware, or a very special gift, we can create something original. Client needs and interests are central to our design and fabrication process. While it is advantageous to discuss a window project before new construction, we also fabricate to fit existing windows.

Excellent! They came to my house to see the room, were right on time, sent me samples of the stained glass and pictures of their design, and delivered and hung the lamp themselves... all for a reasonable price! They were very nice also.
