#5 19" x 48"
The circle in the middle pane of this window was made when I broke a plate in the bottom of a bucket and realized that I could reassemble the shards in a plate shape. Usually, when I break a plate, the pieces are pie-shaped or irregular. This window hangs on my front porch in good weather, and when the sun hits it, it glows.

It's difficult to get a good photograph of a window with clear glass. The photos below were taken with the window leaning against my oven.
The beveled pieces in these windows are salvaged from some old metal lanterns and candle holders.

Actually, the clear glass isn't entirely clear. "Seedy" glass contains what looks like water bubbles and streaks. "GNA" glass has small lines running randomly through it. "Jack Frost" glass looks like heavily-frosted windshield glass. Other clear glass may have bumps, ripples, or sculpted lines.

The yellow window (below) has bumpy glass (upper right and lower middle). The yellow star is the top of a swizzle stick.
