A modern twist on a classic, vintage holiday ornament. This fused glass treasure requires multiple kiln firings. The base is created from many tiny bits of transparent turquoise glass. Opaque red, green and vanilla glass "dots" are made seperately and then "tack" fused to the base. The added design elements contribute to a three-dimensional appearance. This ornament is very festive hung by itself or in a grouping. Mix & match with other Modern Classic Ornament styles.
Ornament Tidbits:
Evidence suggests that the use of evergreens to adorn the home during the winter solstice dates as far back as the ancient Egyptians.
All art work is handmade by Robert Wiener in the DC Art Glass Studio. Kilnforming is a method of shaping glass in a kiln using heat and gravity. Techniques used by the artist include fusing, slumping, casting, printmaking and coldworking. It is common of kilnformed glass to have slight color shifts and small "champagne" bubbles. May contain sharp edges. Handle with care.
