1920s Art Deco large Stained glass panel in great condition,

A radiant fire-painted rose in vivid ruby red, crowned with deep cobalt and amethyst glass, creates a striking interplay of colour and craftsmanship. The handmade glass shows subtle bubble inclusions, a hallmark of early artisanal production, adding depth and authenticity when illuminated by the sun or interior lighting. The central Tudor-style rose motif evokes ecclesiastical stained-glass traditions, while the architectural symmetry of the lower fields gives the piece a refined, graphic presence.

Historical Context
Fire painting on stained glass (also known as vitreous enamel painting) became widely used in ecclesiastical and decorative glasswork from the 19th century onward. The paint is composed of finely ground glass mixed with metal oxides for colour, applied to the surface, then permanently fused to the glass in a kiln at high temperature.

Tudor-rose and other stylised rose windows experienced a revival in the early 20th century, often integrated into transoms, chapels, and devotional interiors, bridging Gothic inspiration with the cleaner symmetry that foreshadowed Art Deco design language. The use of cobalt blues, amethyst purples, and ruby reds was both symbolic and aesthetic—representing divinity, contemplation, and love, while delivering maximum visual impact when backlit.
