In 2005 I visited Ireland with my Wife. Some of the stained glass in the old cathedrals was many hundreds of years old.
According to the information provided by one of the Dublin cathedral guides, the old stained glass making skills have been replaced by modern glass manufacturing techniques that cannot be considered to be 'real' stained glass.
To my untrained eye, the finished product still looks the same excepting that modern glass looks smoother when compared to the very old examples. The skill that goes into this work is obviously high.
Why would modern glass not be considered to be at the same or even higher quality compared to some of the old cathedral stained glass?
