Margaret's Stained-Glass Songbird Trio

The final 120 from a 47-year Cumbria workshop

Three songbirds — robin, kingfisher and bullfinch — built from genuine hand-rolled cathedral glass on a hand-bent copper branch, mounted on a turned English oak base. Every trio passes through Margaret Ainsworth's hand at the same Eden Valley bench she has worked at since 1979. The lease on the workshop ends on the 31st of August 2026. After the last 120 ship, there will be no more.
