These glass plaques were inspired by the stained and painted glass in medieval cathedrals, or the coloured panels in country houses. The Hare in particular is in the Arts & Crafts style of the late C19th, with its coloured panels and hand drawn designs. The Madonna & Child was inspired by a Byzantine icon with its rich gold and blue colouring. They are all complex pieces of work, with many stages and time between those stages – they are not quick to produce and take a high degree of skill which results in these beautiful pieces of art work.
