The glass in this dome is refered to as flemish and it is no longer in production. For the repairs we were able to salvage some original glass from the sash windows in other parts of the house that were no longer in use.

Since the traditional technique of setting glass into lead cames is the same in both cases, in the late 20th century the divisions between "leadlight" and "stained glass" became blurred, and the terms are now often used interchangeably for any window employing this technique, while the term "stained glass" is often extended in application to any windows, sculpture, and objects d'art using coloured glass.
