A vintage Glassmasters oval stained glass suncatcher, dated 1978. Unlike traditional piece-and-solder stained glass, Glassmasters used a patented technique of applying multi-layered glass enamels directly onto a single panel of cathedral glass, kiln-fired to permanently fuse the colors. The design features a vibrant red and yellow butterfly amid stylized blue chicory-like flowers with golden centers and green leaves.
Set in its original hand-soldered framing channel with a delicate hanging chain. The bottom edge carries the fired-on script hallmark “© Glassmasters 1978” — the maker’s signature mark and the production year, fused into the glass. Made in USA.
Measures approximately 6 x 4 inches. Pre-owned vintage condition, nearly 50 years old, with small imperfections consistent with its age. Please review all photos carefully, including the close-up detail shots, as they are part of the description.
Due to the rarity and fragility of this piece, no returns will be accepted. We have no control over how a piece is packaged for return shipping, and we’re not willing to take on that risk of damage. Every item undergoes a pre-shipping inspection that is video and photo documented, creating a clear record of its exact condition and packaging as it leaves our studio — so there’s never any question about how a piece was packed or its state prior to shipping. Carefully wrapped and double-boxed for safe transit. Best Offer welcome. All photos and video, showing the object from every angle, are part of the description — please review before purchasing.
