I grew up with my father being an avid collector of some of the finest 19th century stained glass windows and have always loved the art form, so much so that I've begun taking classes myself, but my aesthetic is more modern and it hasn't been easy finding other artisans from the last 70-80 years that have moved past the traditional.
the one that I do know of is my good friend J Barberio, who created these great windows (below)
if anyone knows of other artist from the 20s to today working outside the traditional I would love to see their work.

Higgins art glass
Does anyone know if all Higgins glass pieces were signed, specifically the dishes?

I'm
out of town at the moment. When I get back, I will check my library at home. I am sure I have something interesting to share. The short answer to your question is yes.

If you look up the book...
If you look up the book 'Phoenix at Coventry' (John Piper with Patrick Reyntiens) or do some google searches for 20th century churches and the associated artisans I'm sure some good stuff will turn up. Van Doesburg, Wright, the Griffins?

Jet - The Higgins definitely...
Jet - The Higgins definitely made a habit of signing their work. The only exceptions that I know of are:
1) pieces for which they provided the glass, but the piece was assembled and marketed by another company (i.e., their hanging lights and clocks)
2) Rondelays, as signing each and every rondelay in a screen of them could rightly be considered obsessive. Occasionally, you'll find a grouping that has one of the rondelays signed though.
3) Ornaments. Some of the larger ornaments are signed, but a lot of the smaller ones aren't.
All bowls and pieces like that should definitely be signed though. It's possible that one could slip through, I suppose, but it wouldn't have been by design.

And Jeremiah - you should...
And Jeremiah - you should check out Edgar Miller. There's an AMAZING book on his work, called "Edgar Miller and the Handmade Home". He was an amazing artist, based here in Chicago, who did a bit of everything. I've attached some pics from around the web below.
And of course, Marc Chagall also did stained glass windows.
