Inspired by the beauty and expressive artistry of early 19th-century ecclesiastical stained glass, this exquisite handcrafted hanging panel combines traditional glass painting techniques with beautifully coloured mouthblown glass.

At its centre is an oval, hand-painted portrait of an angelic figure gazing upwards towards the sky, with flowing locks of hair and a delicate halo. Painted onto pale tinted mouthblown glass and kiln fired to create depth, definition and lasting detail, the figure has a wonderfully serene and timeless quality. The design takes its inspiration from an image found in an early 19th-century stained glass church window, capturing the elegance and character of historic religious glass.

Surrounding the central artwork is a beautiful leaded border of rich blue pot metal mouthblown glass, its deep, saturated colour providing a striking contrast to the softer tones of the painted figure. Hand-painted and kiln-fired star details are scattered throughout the border, adding a delicate decorative element and enhancing the celestial feel of the design.

Designed to be hung or propped in a window, where natural daylight can illuminate the rich blue glass and bring the painted details to life, this distinctive stained glass panel makes a striking addition to any home. A beautiful piece for lovers of historic stained glass and traditional craftsmanship, it brings together the timeless imagery of church glass with the warmth and character of handmade decorative glass.
