Product & Technical Information

Product Information

Pheonix Glass is manufactured from blown glass and it displays all the qualities of very expensive antique glass (a term which relates to its manufacture rather than its age).

This environmentally friendly product is available in blue, green, amber and yellow. Each of the colours vary in tone, especially the green glass which ranges from blue-green to olive-green.

This versatile product is also suitable for use with traditional or modern non-firing paints, making it an obvious choice for repair work and the hobbyist when crafting objects such as Tiffany lamps and stained glass panels.

Products crafted from this distinctive and highly individual glass exhibit a unique, vibrant quality.

The glass is an excellent choice for restoration work and the refurbishment of traditional stained glass panels and lampshades, due to its antique qualities.
