A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 327215-11 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The art of stained glass dates back to ancient times, with the earliest known examples found in Egypt and Rome. However, it was during the Middle Ages that stained glass windows became a prominent feature in European churches and cathedrals. The use of lead to hold the glass pieces together was introduced in the 12th century, leading to the development of the leaded glass technique. In the United States, the stained glass industry began to flourish in the late 19th century, with the rise of the Arts and Crafts movement. Notable advancements in the industry include the development of new techniques for creating intricate designs, such as acid etching and sandblasting, as well as the use of new materials like fused glass and dichroic glass. In recent history, the demand for stained and leaded glass has shifted from religious and public buildings to private residences and commercial spaces. The industry has also seen a rise in the use of computer-aided design and manufacturing, allowing for more precise and complex designs. Additionally, there has been a growing interest in the restoration and preservation of historic stained glass windows, leading to new opportunities for skilled artisans and conservators. Overall, the stained and leaded glass industry continues to evolve and adapt to changing trends and technologies.
