<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roaring20s, post: 3677120, member: 17270&quot;]The Art Nouveau panel in my fire screen is a faux stained glass. I’ve seen other brass and glass fire screens like this, having leaded glass. The only example I’ve found matching this type of glass is attached. It must be by the same manufacturer, as it has a patent etched into it at the bottom. The following link states 25501 is the patent number. Mine is 25591. This leads me to speculate that the auction-house made a typographical error and the patent is for the manufacturing process. I guess it could be a different patent for the design, but I lean to it being a typo.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/art-nouveau-brass-fire-screen-inset-with-a-staine-EX89SKULWR#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/art-nouveau-brass-fire-screen-inset-with-a-staine-EX89SKULWR#" rel="nofollow">https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/art-nouveau-brass-fire-screen-inset-with-a-staine-EX89SKULWR#</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This too is similar, with no mention of a patent.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/stroud-auctions-ltd/catalogue-id-srstr10021/lot-37d8bafc-83c5-4734-a157-a44500626883#lotDetails" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/stroud-auctions-ltd/catalogue-id-srstr10021/lot-37d8bafc-83c5-4734-a157-a44500626883#lotDetails" rel="nofollow">https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/stroud-auctions-ltd/catalogue-id-srstr10021/lot-37d8bafc-83c5-4734-a157-a44500626883#lotDetails</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I have not found the same frame or glass design, thus far.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall size is 18” x 30”.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Here’s mine…</b></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]310422[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310425[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]310426[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume the clear glass is moulded with the frosted area, then the color areas are filled with granular glass and fired. The granular color is still rough to the touch. All of this was done on the backside. The front is one smooth surface with a beveled edge. The outlines of the artwork are clear, as is the glass beyond the outer edges of the frosted background.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may have been introduced as a manufacturing effort to reduce the cost of leaded glass. Since I do not see more of this method, perhaps it did not save enough? I think it adds a modern touch. More art glass, than glass art.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Questions</b>:</p><p>Does anyone know what this process is called?</p><p>What company(ies) use this technique?</p><p>English made?</p><p><br /></p><p>Side note:</p><p>I like that the feet swivel for flat storage.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]310431[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]310432[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>James.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
