Types
Pioneer Glass offers Schott Glass, plus hand-blown wavy glass from Poland, based on historical window glasses from a variety of different eras.
Schott Glass
Schott glass is manufactured using the traditional Fourcalt process. Emile Fourcalt developed this process in the early 20th century and became the global standard of manufacturing flat glass.
Artista
The crystal-like clarity of Artista glass emulates distorted glass of the 1600s-early 1700s. It showcases the interior, making the space appear larger, bringing life and sparkle to the room. For either interior and exterior use: as a full pane, in stained glass or as a fused glass.
Goetheglas
Geotheglas is colorless, drawn glass characteristic of window glass from the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition to antique glass replacement, it helps protect against bad weather. Goetheglas can be used for windows, protective glazing, furniture, and display cases.
Restover
Restover Plus mimics 20th century glass. With minimal thickness, it has no constraints on installation and can easily fit historical window frames and profiles. Restover-light glass is slightly less irregular, Restover-plus has a very irregular surface structure, resembling mouthblown glass.
Hand-Blown Wavy Glass
Mouth-blown glass imported from Poland can either be full or reamy. Full is short for full-antique, meaning it was mouth-blown and created as flat glass, while reamy means full-antique glass with a wavy irregular surface.

Testimonials
"I ordered three panels of true handmade mouth-blown wavy glass to replace panels in an antique RJ Horner winged lion mahogany bookcase. The bookcase has a mate in my home with all original 1870s glass, so it was critical to replace the missing glass to match the original antique glass of the second bookcase. To my absolute amazement Pioneer Glass sent me three matching handmade mouth blown glass panels that are a perfect match to the original 19thC antique glass I needed. From inquiry to delivery, Pioneer was prompt to return my phone calls and emails, he fully explained the different types of glass I could order, and after describing the glass I needed Dave understood exactly what type of glass I needed for my bookcase. I have been collecting antique furniture for decades and on many occasions had to order replacement glass. All of the replacement glass companies I had dealt with in the past sent me inferior glass and they took forever to fill my orders. Pioneer Glass, on the other hand, not only filled my order immediately, the merchant sent me PERFECT antique replacement glass! As a collector and as picky as I am to match originality, I have to say Pioneer Glass is the first merchant in a very long time I feel I can always count on for both great service and a perfect product. I give this merchant a perfect rating in every way!"—Valerie P.
