I'm also into restoring old houses, but plaster is not common here in Norway so I have no experience with it.

When working on the windows in a house from 1910 I got hold of some other old windows with the correct type of glass. A company was throwing them away so I got them for free. The leftover glasses was traded for other parts we needed for the house. Unfortunately the house had to be sold, but I stay in contact with one of the previous owners who now wants to buy another house for restoration.

OP
Quoted from DCP:

Our cupola seems to have vanished sometime in the late 1940s to early 1950s, probably because it was needing repairs and looked "old-fashioned" by then.

Same thing happened to many buildings here, like this one from 1897:
