      Those would be far more expensive to produce, needing specific skilled craftsmen. Not that glass production is easy, but compared to hand-carved wood and stone the labor hours alone is a staggering difference.

      These are done by architects rather than designers. Usefulness isn’t a consideration, only form and aesthetics matter.
