Contact your local stained glass shop that does repairs/restoration. Some glass places (regular window glass, mirrors, etc.) also stock it or can special order it.

Do they make it in tempered glass, by chance? Vermont doesn't have any housing code, at least not where I am, but my research tells me that most areas require tempered glass if a window is in a shower area, and that's where I plan to move my tub.

I know I posted this in "Thornewood Antics" but I'm so pleased, I'm posting twice. I found a use - traditional privacy for a bathroom window.Lily left the valley wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2017 3:42 pmAh.

An additional note to give this duplicate post some value: all Florentine is not the same. Commonly available is a type with a disc center to the flower shape and no background striations. I believe the original old fashioned Florentine glass has no disc center and background striations are present, as shown here:
When you install this glass, be aware of the orientation of the striations, making sure that they are consistent from pane to pane. (My preference is for a vertical orientation.)
