Harlequin
Harlequin is a 2ft x 4ft panel featuring the hand cut bevels of Dennis Swan. Four round jewels are cut from Kokomo Glass billets and are faceted on both sides of the glass. The largest jewel in the scepter is a full 2 inches thick. Eleven diamond bevels are cut from ¼-inch thick Kokomo clear Vertigo Glass. No two are the same. Amber Vertigo was used on the end of the scepter to create two beveled bronze clasps for the large jewel. For additional information on Harlequin click here.
Donated by: Joseph 2bears. Hand-cut beveling donated by Dennis Swan.

Catalogs
1923 Pittsburgh Glass
1924 Wendling Glass Co /Nat'l Ornamental
Glass Mfrs. Assoc.
This is a fine reproduction of two
stained and leaded glass catalogs: a
1924 catalog of stained glass church
windows from the Wendling Glass Co. and
the stained and leaded glass portions of
a 1923 Pittsburgh Paint & Glass catalog.
The Wendling catalog was merely stamped
with that firm's name - the designs, and
in fact the catalog itself, were
developed by the National Ornamental
Glass Mfrs. Assoc., The NOGMA was a
trade group based in Pittsburgh, formed
to assist in marketing and to promote
good design in glass products. It is
likely that the windows in the
Pittsburgh Glass catalog came from
either that group or a similar one.
Pittsburgh Paint & Glass was quite
active in and supportive of numerous
trade groups.
