Inspired by the rich history and artistry of medieval stained glass, this striking handcrafted hanging panel brings a charming glimpse of the past to life through traditional glass painting techniques and beautifully coloured mouthblown glass.

At its centre is a circular, hand-painted and kiln-fired scene depicting two children at play, including one astride a hobby horse. Painted with fine detail and finished with silver stain detail, the medieval-inspired roundel has been depicted on pale tinted mouthblown glass, allowing the delicate imagery and subtle tones of the original scene to shine through. The design takes its inspiration from a medieval stained glass roundel from Northern France or Burgundy, dating to around 1450, depicting the everyday games and pastimes of children.

Framing the central scene is a rich amber border of traditional muffled mouthblown glass, complemented by hand-painted and kiln-fired star details. The warm amber tones create a beautiful contrast with the lighter central glass, while the decorative stars add a further touch of medieval character. Together, the carefully chosen glass and intricate painted details create a wonderfully atmospheric piece, full of colour, history and charm.

Designed to be hung or propped in a window, where natural daylight can bring the glass and painted details to life, this distinctive stained glass panel makes a striking addition to any home. A beautiful piece for lovers of medieval art and historic stained glass, it celebrates the enduring appeal of traditional craftsmanship and the stories held within historic glass.
