There are two schools of thought on that, neither of which have been
conclusively proven. 1. The stained glass panes were cast flat and then have
pooled towards the bottom over time. 2. The glass panes were cast with thicker
bottoms to help support the weight.

There is evidence to support both hypothesis, and it may be that both are
true.

Old Dawt Mill near where I grew up in the Ozarks. There were pictures made of
the mill in which you can see a solid pebble that somehow
made it as an impurity into the glass.  These pictures are 80+
years old IIRC. They still have the piece of glass, the pebble has migrated
down almost a foot (30cm) from it's original position.
