Stained Glass Victorian Terrarium Ward

Ward Terrarium

I designed the Ward, inspired by Victorian-era terrarium illustrations. This style takes its name from Dr. Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward, the inventor of the terrarium. The original terrariums, called Wardian Cases, were first used commercially to transport plants worldwide but soon became popular in the homes of Britain and across Europe.
