Detail of beautifully painted stained glass door by Daniel Cottier, late 19th century. Unfortunately, one of the central painted features was very badly damaged. | ![Broken Glass Broken Glass](../images/img_1/Edcot001.jpg) |
The protective glass at the front of the door was also badly damaged | ![Broken Glass Broken Glass](../images/img_1/Edcot002.jpg) |
A new enamel and stained piece of glass was re-painted to copy Cottier's broken glass. | ![Re-painting Re-painting](../images/img_1/Edcot003.jpg) |
After several tests, a Reuche transparent pink enamel gave the best result, which was then over-painted with a thin Debitus carmine wash. | ![Enamel detail before firing Enamel detail before firing](../images/img_1/Edcot004.jpg) |

The mix of pink enamels achieved the required delicacy of the original 19th century glass. | ![Painting detail Painting detail](../images/img_1/Edcot006.jpg) |
