I don't know how period it would be but why not make the "glass" from "rock"
candy.   It can be transparent and clear or whatever color food dye you come
up that is heat stable.  It can be poured out thin and cut into shapes and
fitted with a piping "leading" just like a real window.   Anyone have any
period candy recipes that fit the bill?
