Acid-etched glass often gets overlooked in favour of the more colourful stained or painted glass, but it can be just as decorative, as this example from a townhouse door on Wilton Street in the West End of Glasgow shows. Acid etching was developed in the mid-1800s and uses hexafluorosilicic acid to etch ornate patterns into panes of glass.

Love this rather amazing painted glass window from a tenement close in the Thornwood area of Glasgow today. It's made all the more beautiful by the blue sky in the background.

I love this piece of decorative acid-etched glass on a townhouse door on Wilton Street in the West End of Glasgow. It probably dates from around the 1860s.
