The expression is not listed in the SGAA Reference and Technical manual,
(The book weighs roughly the same as the Castelo de S. Jorge). I suspect
two letters in the expression are transposed.

"Stained Glass" is colored sheet glass. It is not, technically, stained,
but [as I understand it] that was the original process. It is the material
used for colored glass windows, usually cut and assembled with lead came
(H-shaped lead channel that holds the pieces together.}

VERY basic description! Hope it helps.

Could this possibly be a misprint - Stained vs satined?

There is a kind of enamel called satin etch. It looks like
sandblasting. It is a frit that sticks but doesn't gloss.

Bert,

I am interested in the Satin Etch enamel and found it in the Reusche catalog
for $33 for 1 lb. They also have a minimum order of $50. I am just a
hobbyist and don't have the need for such a large quantity - can you
recommend where I can get a smaller quantity of the Satin Etch enamel. I
have already tried the local stained glass supplier in our area.

Try Standard Ceramic Supply 1 412 /923-1655 I think that they will sell
you a half pound. Be sure to accurately describe your application as
there are many possible frits that can be used. I have encountered old
windows that were screen printed with satin etch. It is very difficult
to differentiate between sandblast and satin etch. I believe satin etch
doesn't have the finger print problems of a sandblast surface. I could
tell the difference by looking at replacement panels that were
sandblasted and were not the same. I think that it is difficult to hand
paint and get an even surface.
