Maybe try Ronnie's furniture in Karawotsits.
Kadir knows his stuff on antique Cypriot doors and some have stained glass in them.
I would suspect there is not the skilled work persons to make it here, as you may be able to buy coloured glass, but then the skill bit in using lead to make a window out of the bits is a very specialist thing.

Maybe easier to get it made in the UK,and bring it back depending how much you need.

Having said that most of the stained glass in the UK has been stolen and melted down for the lead content by eastern European immigrants in the UK.
Hope this helps

My wife was trained in the craft of leaded stained glass (not painted glass) there is a difference.
I was thinking of setting her up with a studio/workshop for architectural leaded stained glass but as many are aware the costs of setting up a business here are not too favourable plus there is
also the fact that there maybe a limited market.

Wanted a small pane of painted or leaded glass to fit in front door, have seen some coloured patterned glass in some houses. As you say proper leaded glass is an art, not sure whether there would be a market for it here or not, thanks for all your help.

There must be someone in the area that does it, because I've been to one or two craft exhibitions and there has been small items on show. It looked the real stuff rather than painted, but I must admit the items done by the lady at Lambousa look quite good as well.
