stained glass
This term refers to a specific artistic medium where glass is colored through the addition of metal oxides. While it is most strongly associated with Gothic cathedrals and religious iconography, it is also used in secular art and modern architecture. The term evokes a sense of luminosity, craftsmanship, and spiritual atmosphere.
As a noun, "stained glass" is treated as an uncountable mass noun. You cannot refer to "a stained glass" to mean a single window; instead, you must use a partitive construction such as "a piece of stained glass" or "a stained glass window" to specify a discrete object.
