I have a friend who is a glass blower, and although I am a novice observer,
I know that to refire glass once it has cooled is difficult, if not
impossible.  Well, not impossible, but it would have to be slowly reheated,
and then color applied.  To "brush" pigment onto the glass would require it
to sill be hot, and I cant understand how to brush or screen a color onto
hot glass.  He rolls the color onto the glass, or melts the color bar, onto
clear glass.  And this particular piece definately has color only on one
side.  This is not stained glass as I remember, but I as always looking from
the pew, never up close.  Any contacts to find out more would be
appreciated. We are in New England.

Thanks,

Rob
