This large fused glass platter has stripes of opaque and transparent lavender purples and periwinkle blues. The various colors of glass are layered to give a gradual transition from one color to the other. The lavender section is a specialty glass that changes colors and appears as pale blue in some lighting conditions. The center section is a light lavendar transparent glass that has a layer of a specialty glass decorated with strands of periwinkle and lavender glass.

This rectangle plate measures approximately 6 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches and the bottom includes my signature and the year made in 24k gold permanent ink.

The glass for this plate was precisely cut and assembled and then fused together in a kiln to approximately 1500 degrees. A diamond bit grinder was then used to smooth the edges and the accent pieces were added before it was placed back in the kiln to polish the edges and fuse the accents to the base. The final step uses a mold to refire the piece into its final shape.

All of my items are handmade in America in my Roswell, GA studio.
