Country Crock Stained Glass Church Night Light by Bill Job

This is a decorative stained glass miniature representing a church, created as part of the 'Country Crock' collection designed by artist Bill Job (Job 7550). The piece is constructed using the traditional copper foil (Tiffany) method, featuring various types of art glass joined with lead or solder came. The roof is composed of vibrant blue and white streaked slag glass, layered in a stepped fashion to mimic shingles. The main body of the structure is made of opaque white milk glass or opalescent glass, while the windows feature jewel-toned accents including a circular green pane on the steeple and an arched red window on the side. The steeple/tower is topped with a simple white glass cap and includes a small blue entry awning over a dark glass door. The base of the stairs and the door handle details are finished in a dark, patinated metal. Overall craftsmanship shows uniform soldering lines throughout. No major cracks, chips, or repairs are visible in the glass panes, although there is slight surface dust consistent with shelf wear. This item likely dates from the late 20th century, specifically the 1990s, and was originally designed to function as a plug-in night light or a lighted accent lamp for home decor.
