Sculptural Art Bowl

This is a one-of-a-kind beautiful, abstract, fused glass art bowl. This sculptural bowl does not have a flat bottom and naturally tilts to allow light to shine thru and highlight the design. This bowl was made with a clear glass base and glass powders in gray, cream, and a beautiful blue accent color. There are "hand-drawn" designs on both sides of the glass creating amazing depth.  Decorative use. Hand wash only.

Dimensions: 6 3/4 in wide x 4 in tall

About the process.
After two firings to get the desired design, the bowl was made using what is called a 'drop out' vessel. It is made by placing a fused glass blank over a flat mold (which has a hole in the center) and firing it in a kiln. The glass slumps down through the hole to create the bowl form. This process needs to be closely monitored to get the desired shape. Once cooled, the bowl is cut off from the glass ring left behind in the process and the edges are carefully ground and polished.
