Used primarily for renovation and restoration of historic buildings and antique furniture, restoration styled glass is also incorporated into high quality period buildings and furniture. There are basically four types of restoration style glass.
Hand-Blown Glass:
This glass is for restoration of panes predating the turn of the twentieth
century because it is still produced using the same techniques and materials
as the original. It tends to have somewhat more irregular imperfections and distortion. Due
to the high cost of the requisite skilled labor, this glass can be rather expensive.
Machine-Drawn Window Glass: The machine-drawn restoration window glass is the glass of choice for the restoration of pieces from about 1900-1950. It is also suitable for applications where tempering, size and price considerations preclude the use of hand-blown glass.
Other
Restoration Style Window Glass:
Glass sometimes considered restoration style glass includes the clear textures
and the colored machine-drawn and mouth-blown antiques.
