At Sweet Tangerine, I pride myself on creating stunning, one-of-a-kind stained glass pieces. Each piece is crafted with care and attention to detail, incorporating vintage and secondhand materials to promote sustainability and affordability. Below, you'll find some important details to consider when purchasing my stained glass art.
Photography and Appearance
Please note that glass can be tricky to photograph, and the appearance of the pieces may look slightly different in person than in the listing. The way light interacts with stained glass can change its colors and effects, making each piece truly unique in different lighting conditions. Rest assured, the beauty of our stained glass is best appreciated in person, where its vibrant colors and textures can be fully experienced.
Use of Vintage and Secondhand Materials
Sweet Tangerine is committed to sustainability. That's why I incorporate vintage and secondhand materials into my creations. This not only helps reduce waste but also makes my pieces more affordable without compromising on quality. By using these materials, each piece carries a bit of history, and you may notice micro-scratches or minor flaws in the glass. These imperfections add character and tell the story of the glass, making your art piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Variations in Glass Color and Texture
Due to the nature of the materials I use, variations in glass color and texture are common. Every sheet of glass I work with is unique, which means no two pieces will ever be exactly the same. These variations are part of what makes stained glass art special, adding depth and individuality to each creation.
Pricing Information
Sweet Tangerine reserves the right to change prices at any time. Prices may vary depending on the availability and quality of materials. I factor small imperfections in vintage glass into my pricing, ensuring that the pieces remain both high-quality and affordable. My goal is to offer beautiful, unique stained glass art that fits a variety of budgets.

Care Instructions
Stained glass is a beautiful and delicate art form. Proper care will help maintain its beauty for generations. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your stained glass looking its best:
Cleaning:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to dust your stained glass regularly.
- For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the glass and lead.
- Gently wipe the glass surface and the lead came. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, as this can cause the glass to crack or the solder joints to weaken.
- After cleaning, dry the glass with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Handling:
- Always handle stained glass by the edges to avoid putting pressure on the glass.
- If moving a stained glass piece, hold it vertically and support it with both hands to prevent stress on the glass and joints.
Hanging and Displaying:
- Use strong, secure hooks or chains when hanging stained glass. Ensure that the hooks are properly anchored to support the weight.
-Avoid suction cups as they are unreliable and can cause your stained glass to drop
