Tiffany's The Holy Spirit, 1895 Art Glass

Doves represent many things: hope, salvation, love, and devotion; Tiffany's illustrious round stained glass art window depicts a dove ascending among the folds of brilliant sunlight in a bright cobalt blue sky surrounded by a brilliant jeweled background. Tiffany made it his creative life-long goal a "pursuit of beauty" as he labored to improve the stained glass process. He invented a myriad of new shades, colors and types of blended and opalescent glass, in consequence all of his antique decorative windows set the bar for all stained glass. Art Glass also called stained glass is created by a unique technique of fusing hand-rolled architectural glass with unique transparent enamels, then kiln fired at temperatures above 1100 degrees Fahrenheit so the colors actually become part of the glass. The shades and hues will stay bright and glowing with radiant color and provide a stunning view from either side. The art glass window is framed in zinc with a hanging chain for window display and a tabletop easel stand to enjoy this treasured piece in any room.
