The colour fuses into the glass; it does not sit on the surface. Hummingbird in flight through a wreath of pink and purple hibiscus. The Shropshire studio closes at the end of August 2026 — one year to the day after Frances's husband Tom died last summer. After the last 96 ship, there will be no more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKiln-painted, not cut-and-leaded — single sheet of float glass, painted in vitreous-enamel pigment and fired at 580°C overnight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron-oxide outliner — the same iron-and-clay pigment used in cathedral-window restoration since the 12th century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4–6 hours of hand-painting per piece plus a full overnight kiln cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.5mm float glass — kiln-fused, holds its colour for decades, won't chip or peel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine silver chain + suction-cup hook included; no drilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne pair of hands — every suncatcher passes through Frances's bench in the old Shropshire dairy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 × 30 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5mm float glass, kiln-fused\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePigment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-painted vitreous enamel, fired at 580°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine silver, ~25cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor display only\u003c\/strong\u003e — wipe clean with a soft dry cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Latest Finds","offers":[{"title":"1× Hummingbird","offer_id":57940957200758,"sku":"FRANCES-HUMMINGBIRD-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2× Hummingbirds","offer_id":57940957233526,"sku":"FRANCES-HUMMINGBIRD-2","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3× Hummingbirds","offer_id":57940957266294,"sku":"FRANCES-HUMMINGBIRD-3","price":56.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4× Hummingbirds","offer_id":57940957299062,"sku":"FRANCES-HUMMINGBIRD-4","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/4777\/7398\/files\/product-hero_7a4b8652-3bd9-4d9e-9648-7634cb498c3a.webp?v=1779556968","url":"https:\/\/latest-finds.com\/products\/francess-kiln-painted-hummingbird-suncatcher","provider":"Latest Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
