Charlton slopes in London SE7 have some of the most lovely stained glass door panels. Built in the Edwardian era many of them still have the original glasses intact. The panels below were made new but to the street design and building back in original Edwardian glasses from the area. It was great to be able to use these glasses as although the Muranese pattern is still made now and looks great it has slightly less embossment than the original pattern that really catches the light.
Original glasses; deep plum (below) and green Muranese.
