Add Beauty & Ensure Privacy with Leaded Stained Glass Windows<\/h3>\n

When Scottish Stained Glass uses the term “leaded glass” we are\u00a0referring to our collection of various\u00a0clear, textured glasses. Leaded glass\u00a0and stained glass are basically the same, but leaded glass describes designs which have no color. This type of glass has been mixed with lead-rich materials while molten; lead replaces the calcium content of a typical glass.<\/p>\n

Lead glass has a long history. The earliest known example with lead oxide additives\u00a0is a blue glass fragment from Nippur dated to 1400 BC. Leaded stained glass was first used in medieval Europe as a base for colored glass. This glass was used in mosaic tiles, enamels, stained glass painting, and to imitate precious stones. Lead oxide was used to create enamel for vessels and windows because of its lower working temperature.<\/p>\n

By the 17th century George Ravenscroft produced the first clear lead glass on a large sale. Taking advantage of his merchant class status, Ravenscroft was able to revolutionize the glass trade and shifted England into the leader as a leaded glass innovator. Scotland, especially Glasgow, became the world center for creating leaded glass windows and glassware.<\/p>\n

Lead glass in your home’s windows will not cause lead poisoning. However, it is still not safe to lick, chew, or eat your leaded glass windows. As long as you adhere to those rules, you will not risk lead poisoning.<\/p>\n

To this day, lead glass continues to be used for both industrial and decorative applications. As the art of making leaded stained glass was passed through the ages, Scottish Stained Glass founder and owner Martin Faith was taught the age old method of crafting the world\u2019s most beautiful glass. Today we all benefit as Martin has shared his knowledge with all of Scottish Stained Glass\u2019s talented craftsman in order to help them produce the worlds most beautiful products<\/p>\n
