Seems glass shop pricing is wierd...due to per-piece minimum, any size up to
14" x 14" was one price (just under $25 for 3/4" plate)

A 28 X 14" piece would have cost me exactly twice as much...didn't inquire
about bigger as I figured it would be easier to handle smaller chunks, and
can't go huge with 3/4" plate anyway.
