A refined and delicate vintage stained glass suncatcher featuring a hand-painted Viola odorata (sweet violet) in purple and green on smoked-colour glass. An understated, botanically precise piece — the kind of quiet, skilled work that rewards close attention.
The combination of painted detail on smoked glass gives this piece a softer, more muted quality than typical leaded suncatchers — less graphic, more painterly. Hung in a window, the purple motif glows warmly against the diffused light. Likely Danish or British in origin, and characteristic of the botanically-inspired craft objects produced across Northern Europe during the 1970s and early 1980s.
