Yes....another English pub photo

Thought everyone might be as interested as I was in these glass pieces. Will also post them in the Masterpieces section with a few others later in the week. I just thought they were amazing pieces, not to mention they are also just around the corner from 10 Rillington for those who might be crime history buffs

The pub has recently become a "gastro pub" with an emphasis on food but it's history puts it soundly in the Victorian era

Absolutely fanciful!
These are the closest to some other panels I saw in an old warehouse in L.A. (1981)
The panels I saw there had also added several colors that had been fired over the acid frosted areas. I have never seen any other panels done in this manner, that is, with colored frosts.
While in that warehouse, I also saw another jaw dropping glass treatment that I have never found again. I describe these panels as follows. The treatment read the same from either side. They were made up of two clear glass sheets, and in between was a floral design, similar to a stained glass pattern. The line work was of round polished brass wire, bent to make the floral designs. These wires were positioned to contain small uniform diameter colored transparent glass beads. They were a little more than 1/8" in diameter. There was apparently a fair amount of color values available to the artist in these glass balls. Enough that in making a long leaf shape or flower petals, the color values of the balls were placed so as to make the leaf appear to twist with shadows and contours.
I wonder if someday Dave or Doug may come across another example of these types of panels. I'd like to know the maker and imagine there was a patent filed on the process.

Absolutely beautifull.
Sometimes I in awe and think that there is just no limit in glass decorating.

Thank you Doug.

P.s. do you remember the pub name (for the map)
