Abstract
Two samples of decorated stained glass (14th century and 19th century) from Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire, U.K. have been examined with the use of Fourier transform (FT)-Raman spectroscopy. The pigment used in both cases has been identified as red ochre, and the potential application of FT-Raman spectroscopy to an important area of conservation and restoration of glass artifacts is demonstrated.
