One comment by someone who has used plating. It is done with lead. It is easier then foil. It gives more depth, and can be completely sealed. You do not want anything getting between the pieces including solder and especially flux as you cannot clean it once together. I first learned of this at the Mission Inn in the windows in the bar which have several plates. I have also used plating, metal fillagree I made like the original Tiffany lamp fillagree, and three dimensions including dragonflys flying over the glass and other three dimension tricks. I have some of the best glass made by the best of the glass makers after Tiffany like Oceana and custom Uroboros. Uroboros also made the best drapery glass and poked glass. If you ordered enough they would custom make what you wanted. I also had glass molds made so as to have real jewels like the originals. And since I had acid etching equipment I made caps and fillagree also. Great show. I learned a lot and the windows and lamps are stupifying.
EXCELLENT in every way! A joyous hour of beauty, information, and great context of where he came from to his experiences seeing art around the world. Presented with candor and respect for a genius. She seamlessly explained how his connections, manner of production and promotion made this a business of art. BRAVA!
