We can make Crown Bullions, also known as Bullseye Panes, in almost any color, shape, or size.
Crown Bullions: These are usually smaller square with thick centers, but not much ripple to them. They were cut out portion of a larger rondel used for the best clarity of glass in medieval times.
Bullseye Panes: These are often larger squares or rectangles that have more movement in them... ripples almost. These are made to fit the opening they are going into with thin edges that are flat for easy glazing, but lots of relief and dimension in the center area.
