Came glasswork includes assembling pieces of cut and possibly painted glass using came sections. The joints where the came meet are soldered to bind the sections. When all of the glass pieces have been put within came and a border put around the entire work, pieces are cemented and supported as needed. [1]
Leadlights, leaded lights or leaded windows are decorative windows made of small sections of glass supported in lead cames. The technique of creating windows using glass and lead came to be known as came glasswork .
Cut glass wine glass made of lead glass. Lead glass, commonly called crystal, is a variety of glass in which lead replaces the calcium content of a typical potash glass. [1] Lead glass contains typically 18–40% (by mass) lead(II) oxide (PbO), while modern lead crystal, historically also known as flint glass due to the original silica source, contains a minimum of 24% PbO.

Leaded glass may refer to: Lead glass , potassium silicate glass which has been impregnated with a small amount of lead oxide in its fabrication Lead came glasswork , glass panels made by combining multiple small pieces of glass, which may be stained, textured or beveled, with cames or copper foil
In architecture, a transom is a transverse horizontal structural beam or bar, or a crosspiece separating a door from a window above it. This contrasts with a mullion, a vertical structural member. [1] Transom or transom window is also the customary U.S. word used for a transom light, the window over this crosspiece.
Leaded glass panels were installed above the transom line, below the awning. The original coloured glass highlight panels were removed and clear glass panels in steel frames installed. The stall-board lights under the shopfronts were also removed, but some new pavement lights were installed to compensate.
A glass solder is used, e.g., for joining together parts of cathode ray tubes and plasma display panels. Newer compositions lowered the usage temperature from 450 to 390 °C (840 to 730 °F) by reducing the lead(II) oxide content down from 70%, increasing the zinc oxide content, adding titanium dioxide and bismuth(III) oxide and some other ...
Transom may refer to: Transom (architecture), a bar of wood or stone across the top of a door or window, or the window above such a bar; Transom (nautical), that part of the stern of a vessel where the two sides of its hull meet; Operation Transom, a World War II bombing raid on Surabaya in Java; Transom knot, a simple lashing knot
