We are sorry to say
that we have had a string of troubles with our bull's eye supplier -- too many
scratched bull's eye and too many unreturned calls -- that we have decided to
take a break from offering bull's eye panes. We thought we had removed them
from our website but apparently we hadn't (although we have now). The company
we used to get them from, Blenko Glass, has a long and respected history, we
just couldn't abide the recent problems. You are welcome to try them yourself,
maybe you'll have better luck, or maybe they can recommend someone
else.

Thank you for the inquiry.
That's what I am looking for, rectangular panes for a transom (not,
although thank you all very much, actually round pieces of glass - I did not
word it clearly.) This is a response from one of the sites,
the only one (I think) that makes rectangular panes.
Damn, I was looking forward to setting the house on fire. I'll
have to fit that into my next novel - 17th century house with bottle end
transoms, cooler atmospheric temperatures keep bottle ends from setting
hair-and-plaster walls on fire; giant oak grows up in front yard, torn
down by rapacious hedge-fund manager who wants to expand his polo field; but by
this time, global temperatures have increased (because of his 12 SUVs) to just
over the ignition limit, plus he has had Sister Parish hang the front hall with
erotic Cambodian silk tapestries; next day after taking down oak, resulting fire
levels Greenwich, Connecticut, except for organic food co-op.
Biblical.
Kind regards to all, Christopher
