Crown Glass Cowl

This elegant cowl was inspired by antique windows in beautiful old buildings. It’s called crown glass after a type of hand-blown glass that created flat disks of glass that were thinner at the edges and thicker in the center, which was one of the most popular ways of making window glass for centuries. The effects of lead lattice and glass are imitated with lace work and a simple cable.
