Bespoke Decorative Glass Panels Made to Order
Every commission we undertake adds to our expertise and reinforces why we take such pride in our craft.
Our bespoke service enables us to accurately copy Victorian etched glass designs using our own in-house manufacturing methods. While much of our work is based on period glass, we also recreate modern and contemporary designs upon request.
This page features just a selection of the one-off bespoke pieces we have produced for private customers as well as for other glass and glazing companies.
Some Victorian etched glass panels originally included fired enamel colouring, a technique rarely seen today. We are able to reproduce these specialist designs, along with many other historic patterns we have restored over the years.
The most popular Victorian etched designs we have recreated have now been added to our standard brochure range, allowing us to offer them at highly competitive prices without compromising authenticity or craftsmanship.
All bespoke glass is produced in-house at our Liverpool workshop, ensuring full quality control and true British-made manufacturing.

Types of Bespoke Glass We Produce
We specialise in producing a wide range of bespoke decorative glass, handcrafted in our UK workshop using both traditional and modern techniques.
Whether you require acid etched glass, hand-painted enamel artwork, flashed glass colour removal, or fully restored stained glass panels, our skilled team can reproduce historic Victorian designs or create something completely unique.
Each bespoke commission is made to order, allowing us to match original glass for restoration projects or design new glass to suit your style, size requirements and budget.
We regularly manufacture custom glass for period homes, listed buildings, heritage restorations, and high-end modern interiors. If you have a broken pane you wish to replicate or an idea you’d like to bring to life, simply send us a photograph and approximate sizes and we will advise on the best method and pricing.
Bespoke Etched Glass Reproductions
We specialise in the reproduction of traditional etched glass panels, recreating historic Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco designs with exceptional accuracy. Using original glass fragments, photographs or measured drawings, our team digitally rebuilds the artwork before producing a new panel using our multi-stage etching process. The result is a faithfully reproduced design that retains period character while meeting modern safety regulations.
We use different methods of etching depending on what is required for the project, that being standard etched, acid etched, and three tone etching. Please see below for a few examples of projects we've worked on.
Restoration of glass for Moat Brae House, Dumfries
Left: Restored glass panel Right: Original damaged fragments
Known as the house that inspired Peter Pan, Moat Brae House had fallen into disrepair, with broken glass and crumbling windows throughout the building.
As part of a £4 million restoration project supported by Joanna Lumley, the property has now been transformed into Scotland’s first Centre for Children’s Literature.
Our team was commissioned to recreate the original etched glass panels from the remaining broken fragments. Using specialist restoration techniques, we digitally reconstructed the missing design, reproduced the pattern, and manufactured new panels that matched the originals in both style and quality.
Moat Brae House was once a grand red sandstone villa where author J. M. Barrie played as a child. It is believed that the garden inspired the story of Peter Pan. Today, thanks to ongoing conservation work, the house has been restored to its former beauty and reopened to the public.
This project remains one of our most meaningful restorations, combining craftsmanship, heritage and storytelling into one truly magical commission.
Bespoke Contemporary Lace-Pattern Etched Glass Panel for Cadogan Place, London
This bespoke etched glass panel was commissioned by West Nine Studio for a luxury interior project at Cadogan Place, London. The design features a repeating circular lace-inspired motif, created using our precision etching method to achieve crisp detailing and a soft diffused finish.
The result provides both privacy and visual impact, making it ideal for high-end residential or commercial settings.
Working from design concept through to production, we manufactured the panel in-house at our Liverpool workshop, ensuring full control over quality and finish.
Bespoke Etched Vase Glass Panel
This bespoke etched glass panel was recreated for a private customer in Scotland.
The original broken pane featured a beautiful vase design, which we accurately reproduced using three separate grades of etching: deep etched, acid etched, and clear glass areas.
The result is a stunning multi-layered etched effect that restores the panel to its former elegance while maintaining the authenticity of the original design.
Bespoke Floral Etched Panel Remake
This bespoke floral etched glass panel was recreated for a private client who required an accurate remake of their original design.
Using our specialist double-etched technique, we were able to achieve the soft frosted appearance and depth associated with traditional acid-etched glass, while using a modern, safer production process.
The panel features multiple layers of etching to create contrast between the background and floral detailing, giving the design clarity, texture, and privacy.
This technique allows us to faithfully reproduce original period glass while ensuring it meets today’s safety and durability standards.
Recreation of Etched Glass Panels for Former Rhyl Pub Conversion
As part of the restoration of a historic pub in Rhyl, we were commissioned to recreate a damaged etched glass pane that had survived inside the property.
By working directly from the original broken panel, we digitally rebuilt the design and reproduced it using modern techniques while preserving every detail of the historic artwork.
The finished glass stays true to the original style, allowing the renovated building—now transformed into a community coworking space, to retain its authentic period character.
Victorian Rococo Etched Glass Panel Reproduction
This ornate etched glass design is a faithful reproduction of a late Victorian Rococo-inspired panel featuring classical scrolling foliage, palmette motifs and a fine decorative border.
The original broken glass was carefully digitally
reconstructed and remade using our stanard etching process to match the historic design as closely as possible.
Victorian Etched Glass Reproduction
for Charles Lightfoot Ltd
Left: Original Broken Etched Panel Right: Restored Etched Glass Panel
This project involved recreating a rare Victorian etched glass design that arrived to us completely shattered. Using only the broken fragments as reference, we carefully redrew the artwork, reproduced the fine border detail, and sandblasted the full design onto new glass.
Once completed, the panel was returned to Charles Lightfoot Ltd, a fellow stained glass specialist, as a faithful reproduction of the original Victorian glass.
We regularly work with stained glass studios, restoration companies, and heritage contractors across the UK — contact us for expert etched glass remakes.

Bespoke Enamel Glass Reproductions
Our bespoke enamel glass reproductions combine traditional kiln-fired glass painting with modern production techniques, allowing us to faithfully recreate historic designs or produce new artwork to specification. Working from original broken panels, photographs, or customer drawings, we digitally rebuild the design before firing enamel pigments onto the glass and finishing the panel through precision etching or staining. This process allows us to match original Victorian and Edwardian glass, including coloured borders, roundels, and decorative door panels, while ensuring the durability and safety standards required for modern installation
Etched Enamel Door Panel Copied & Reproduced For Pearsons Glass Ltd, Merseyside
The door panel shown above was fully recreated from a single broken piece of the original glass. The border featured a highly intricate pattern, making the layout and reproduction particularly challenging. To match the original construction, the coloured border was first fired in the kiln before the design was carefully etched from the glass surface. This unusual combination of fired colour and etched detailing creates a striking visual effect, with the decorative border beautifully complementing the frosted artwork.
The Lion Tavern Glass Restoration – Liverpool
The images above show two bespoke etched and enamelled glass panels we produced for The Lion Tavern, a Grade II listed pub in Liverpool. Because of the building’s listed status, the replacement glass had to match the original features exactly.
The panels needed to fit into an existing opening that was smaller than the historic design, so we began by digitally reconstructing and scaling the artwork from one of the surviving windows. Once the design was finalised, it was divided into layers so each stage of etching and enamel work could be applied with precision.
In total, the reproduction required four individual layers of processing to achieve the correct depth, colour, and detail. The finished panels preserve the character of the original Victorian-style glass while meeting the size and safety requirements of the restored pub.
Etched and Enamelled Door Panel Reproduction for Solaglas Windowcare, Scotland
This etched and enamelled door panel and matching sidelight were faithfully reproduced for a private customer in Scotland through Solaglas Windowcare. The glass had previously been copied by another company, but the colours and detailing were incorrect. Working directly from the original design, we digitally rebuilt the artwork, corrected the enamel colour palette, and reproduced the panel using kiln-fired enamelling combined with precision etching. The design was particularly complex, requiring multiple firings and layered etching to achieve the correct depth and finish. The final result is a highly accurate reproduction that restores the character of the original glass.
Etched Fired Enamel Glass Restoration – The Wheatsheaf Hotel, Littleborough
Left: Orginal Broken Right: Picture Of Glass After Restoration.
The images above show the reproduction of a damaged etched and fired enamel glass panel from The Wheatsheaf Hotel on Church Street, Littleborough.
We were contracted by Bridgewater Group Manchester to faithfully copy and remake the original Victorian design, which arrived in several broken sections. Using the fragments as reference, we reconstructed the artwork and reproduced:
One red / silver-stain etched border panel matching the original design
Two blue / silver-stain etched border panels, also shown above
Each panel was kiln-fired to permanently fuse the enamel colours into the glass before etching the decorative pattern. The completed work was delivered in August 2011, restoring the historic appearance of the hotel’s feature glazing.

The project shown above features a stained and etched glass dome segment from Mount Melleray – Portlegon House, Our Lady of Bethlehem Abbey, Belfast, Ireland.
Our team was commissioned to reproduce one of the six dome segments after the original glass had broken.
Project Details:
Original panel size: approx. 1700mm x 1220mm (67 x 48 inches)
Full dome size: approx. 3.5m wide x 3m high
We carefully copied the damaged segment and recreated the etched fired enamel design
A layer of 7mm Roughcast glass was applied and masked ready for sandblasting
The glass was kiln-fired and bent to match the original curve of the dome
We worked alongside a specialist bending company to fire and form the glass at the same time
This type of bent stained and enamelled glass is extremely rare, and the work required both traditional craftsmanship and modern kiln-forming techniques. The photographs above show the full restoration process, from broken original panel to the completed replacement piece ready for installation.
Etched Fired Enamel Fleur-de-Lys Glass Reproduction
Left: Orginal Broken Glass Right: Picture Of Glass After Restoration
We were commissioned by Recclesia Ltd to accurately reproduce a Victorian etched silver-stain fired enamel Fleur-de-Lys panel from only a small broken segment and a digital reference image.
Using traditional glassmaking and firing techniques, we recreated the full repeat design with silverstain, fired enamel colours, and etched detailing—faithfully matching the original Victorian glasswork.
Stained Glass Panel Restoration – Pattern Arms, Warrington (Cheshire)
The stained glass panel shown below was copied and reproduced for a public house called the Pattern Arms in Warrington, Cheshire.
The original design was recreated onto a single 6 mm glass panel measuring 521 mm × 854 mm, using a combination of four different fired glass enamels, along with etched and kiln-fired detailing.
This Victorian Silverstain Fleur-de-Lys style panel was reproduced from a small surviving segment and a digital photograph.
Bespoke Flashed Glass Reproductions
Flashed glass is a traditional mouth-blown sheet glass made by layering coloured glass over clear, allowing designs to be cut, etched or engraved back through the surface layer. At Knowsley Art Glass, we specialise in reproducing historic flashed glass panels, as well as creating fully bespoke contemporary designs for private homes, heritage buildings, architects, and glazing companies.
Using a combination of acid etching, sandblasting, we can match original Victorian and Edwardian panels with remarkable accuracy—even when working from damaged fragments. Whether you need a single replacement panel or a full set of decorative door and window glass, we can copy the original colour tones, design layout, and level of obscurity.
Flashed glass can be costly, so we also provide a more affordable option called Fired Enamel Glass. This process allows us to colour match the original design, firing enamel onto the glass in a kiln to create a permanent finish that closely replicates the appearance of traditional flashed glass.

Etched Ivy Border Design
on Traditional Flashed Glass
This bespoke window features a beautifully reproduced Victorian ivy border design, etched onto rich red flashed glass panels. Each red pane has been carefully sandblasted to reveal the detailed ivy pattern while retaining the deep coloured surface beneath.
The blue corner pane has been traditionally brilliant cut, creating a sparkling starburst motif that catches the light and adds a striking focal point to the design.
By combining etched flashed glass with brilliant cutting, this installation achieves an authentic period appearance while showcasing two skilled decorative glass techniques. Perfect for heritage homes and restoration projects, the result is a vibrant, timeless feature that enhances both privacy and character.
Flashed Glass Border Panel Reproduced Using Fired Enamel Techniques
This original Victorian border panel was made on deep red flashed glass, but due to modern manufacturing limits, glass of this size is no longer produced.
To faithfully recreate the piece, we used our fired enamel process to match the original colour, then double-etched the design to replicate the same level of detail and opacity.
The result is a virtually identical reproduction that preserves the style, proportions, and visual impact of the original glass while using safer, modern materials.
Yellow Enamel Reproduction Panel
for Reading Stained Glass
This panel was recreated for Reading Stained Glass as a faithful reproduction of an original Victorian flashed glass design.
The original panel featured coloured flashed glass, but to offer a more cost-effective and durable solution, we produced the remake using our fired yellow enamel technique.
The decorative motifs were digitally redrawn from the damaged original, then screen printed and kiln-fired to permanently fuse the enamel onto the glass. This method provides the same vibrant colour and crisp detail as traditional flashed glass, while allowing us to closely match the customer’s specification at a lower cost.
The finished piece maintains the authentic character of the period design and is ready for installation into its restored setting.
Brilliant-Cut Blue Flashed Glass Border
Panels Reproduced from Originals
These striking blue flashed glass panels were faithfully reproduced from a damaged original border section sent to us by the customer. The vibrant cobalt glass has been traditionally brilliant-cut by hand, creating deep reflective facets that catch and refract the light beautifully. Each motif, including the Scottish thistle and stylised floral elements was carefully copied from the original pane to ensure historical accuracy.
Brilliant cutting is a specialised decorative glass technique that uses diamond wheels to carve into the surface of flashed glass, producing crisp, sparkling designs that cannot be achieved through etching alone. By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern precision methods, we were able to recreate this heritage glass to match the existing installation perfectly.
Brilliant Cut Floral Design on Red Flashed Glass
This stunning panel was produced on traditional red flashed glass and hand brilliant-cut to create deep, highly polished decorative facets.
The floral design catches the light beautifully, creating contrast between the rich red glass and the clear cut areas.
Brilliant cutting is a specialist heritage craft, and pieces like this are often commissioned for period door panels, fanlights, and restoration projects where authentic Victorian styling is required.

Hand-Painted Stained Glass Restoration – Warrington
Left: Orginal Broken Leaded Light Right: Picture Of Glass After Restoration
This hand-painted leaded-light window was restored for a private residence in Warrington. The original panel was not only broken but had also been severely damaged by sandblasting during brickwork cleaning.
Our team carefully reproduced the full painted design, matching the original colours, brush strokes, and texture of the glass.
Once the artwork was complete, the panel was releaded and restored to its former appearance, allowing the customer to retain the authentic period style of their property.
We specialise in restoring damaged hand-painted stained glass panels, even when only fragments remain, and can recreate them using traditional kiln-fired methods.
Traditional Hand-Painted Leaded Lights
Reproduced for Robsons Glass – Formby
Shown above are four examples from a set of fourteen stained glass leaded-lights that we restored and reproduced for Robsons Glass in Formby.
The original panels were heavily damaged, with many of the hand-painted centrepieces beyond repair.
Where possible, we retained original painted elements, but the majority were carefully redrawn, repainted, and kiln-fired to match the historic glasswork.
Using traditional stained glass painting techniques combined with modern restoration methods, we were able to recreate the vibrant colours and intricate detailing, returning every panel to its former beauty.
Bespoke Barrellled Stained Glass Ceiling – London Residence
This stunning barrel-vaulted stained glass ceiling was custom designed and manufactured by Knowsley Art Glass for the London residence of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Salman Bin Hamad Al-Khalifa.
Measuring approximately 5200 mm x 3500 mm, the installation features traditional hand-crafted leaded glass techniques with richly coloured geometric and floral motifs.
Installed above the entrance hall, the curved glass ceiling allows natural light to illuminate the vibrant artwork, creating a dramatic and luxurious focal point within the property.
Restoration of Hand-Painted Leaded Lights – Duke of Wellington & James Watt (Wirral)
Left: Orginal Broken Leaded Light Right: Picture Of Glass After Restoration
These traditional hand-painted leaded glass panels, depicting the Duke of Wellington and James Watt, were restored and reproduced by Knowsley Art Glass for the Hillbark Hotel in the Wirral.
The original panels were severely damaged, with multiple breaks across the figures and decorative painted borders.
Only a small portion of the existing glass could be reused, so the remaining sections were carefully recreated using traditional stained glass painting techniques, then kiln-fired and re-leaded to match the original artwork.
The result is a faithful reproduction that preserves the historic character of the original Georgian-style glass.
