Much of the window, including the fabrication process was influenced by the late Louis Comfort Tiffany. Tiffany was one of the great American innovators and helped establish the tradition of American glass art. Among his innovations was a method of window fabrication that uses a thin strip of copper foil around each adjacent piece of glass. This process allows for finer lines within the window matrix, which differed from previously developed fabrication methods.

Tiffany was also well known for his use of opalescent glass (opaque or colored glass with a milky translucent effect). Some of the glass used in this window was from Kokomo Opalescent Glass (KOG), “...the oldest producer of hand cast, cathedral and opalescent glass in the United States.” [2] KOG has a storied history with their initial primary product being “…sheet glass and electric insulators, that were made for Edison General Electric. On November 16, 1888, one of the first shipments of sheet glass went to Tiffany… which was the beginning of a strong relationship with the artist.” [3]
