Description   

This decorative panels feature lush grapes and vines entwined on a rectilinear trellis. The mottled green glass on the leaves and the textured purple glass which lends a three-dimensional quality to the grapes are hallmarks of Tiffany's windows. The leading is of warying thickness. The thin lines of the grapevines are delicate and fluid, while the thicker, more uniform leading adds to the rigid appearance of the treillis.
