<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 310447, member: 55"]Many glass artisans prefer the term "leaded glass" because "stained glass" is sort of a misnomer. Most of the glass windows and lamps one sees are leaded, but do not involve any "staining," a term reserved for images painted on the glass and then fired before assembly. So I'd actually call this a "leaded-glass shade" without mentioning the particular type of glass.</p><p>Many glass artisans are quite good at restoration, and it isn't as pricey as you might think.
