Stained Glass Plate Panel Window Transom, Vintage Crystal Luminarc Cris D'Arques Plates Valance
This stained glass panel with a pair of recycled vintage Luminarc salad plates is handmade into an original design to be used as a window valance or transom, replacing or in addition to your fabric window curtains. Remember the days when you got something free? Remember the juice glasses that came with jelly or peanut butter? Well, those days might be gone, but the past can be revisited! This plate is the same pattern as those old peanut butter glasses! Manufactured by Arc International, this pattern's history starts in 1948. The pattern is called Luminarc, and it simply sparkles in the sunlight. The delicate pattern of the plates shines (though the photos don't really show it well) with the frosted glass providing definition. Rings are attached for hanging horizontally or vertically. Approximately 20 x 12 inches, this piece is great indoors or out, and is fabulous in a sunny window. These heirloom pieces make wonderful gifts for loved ones, family -- and those we would have picked for family -- and for any occasion.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I create stained glass Heritage panels, complimenting wind chimes, and traditional stained glass window panels.
While hot and warm styles have virtually taken over as home decor, I still craft cold glass in the Tiffany method. Each piece of glass is selected, carefully cut, fit, foiled, and soldered by hand before polishing for display.
My focus is the preservation of our family heirlooms by introducing a unique presentation with the incorporation of depression glassware and vintage dishes. Each piece brings back memories of grandma, makes us once again appreciate the things once treasured, and displays them in a new light.
Selected by Anchor Hocking as a Style and Trendsetter in 2010, featured by Glass Masters Quarterly fall 2012, as well as an award winner at several festivals in Florida, I look forward to working with individual clients for custom pieces.
