William Holland (stained glass maker)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Holland (c.1802 – September 27, 1883) was a 19th-century British maker of stained glass and other decorative pieces. His work is represented in churches and stately homes across England, Wales, and Ireland. Holland of Warwick windows can be identified by his mark "Guil Holland Vaivic. Puix " written on a scroll in Latin in the lower right hand corner.[1] Holland's stained glass reflects the influence of the Cambridge Camden Society and the Gothic Revival work of Thomas Willement. Willement revived in the early 19th century, the method used at York Minster to build the Great East Window in 1400 wherein coloured pieces are leaded and the lead then becomes part of the design, appearing as black lines in the window.[2]
