Streaky glass effect

Post by Peter Angel »

Hello. This is a stained glass window by Harry Clarke.

See the streaks in his hooded cloak? I like this effect.

Is it part of the texture in the glass itself or is it kiln fired enamel/glass paint?

Acid etched red flashed glass. I could verify that if I was looking at it. Red flashed glasses are stunning looking, and no vitreous enamel has that look.
