Home of Indiana’s first drilled gas well, Jay County produced a variety of glass items at the turn of the 20th century. Dunkirk is generally referred to as the “glass capital of Indiana.” The stained-glass dome in the courthouse at Portland dates to 1916.
This piece depicts an array of colorful organic shapes pieced together from glass. The many-textured flames lead upward in this circular stained glass piece.
Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jemerson Young of 2nd Globe, an Indianapolis–based artistic company, designed all 92 of the county sculptures featured on the outside of the Indiana State Museum. Their designs narrate the counties’ famous natives, historically significant events, or their cultural heritage, and were fabricated and installed by various Indiana sculptors, carvers, glassworkers, metal workers, and other artisans.
