Silver Grey Glass Art Curve, Contemporary Handcrafted Mantlepiece Ornament, Artisanal Fused Glass Shelf Ornament, Grey Living Room Décor

An abstract grey glass art curve handcrafted in the Lake District.

The freestanding ornament was handmade from transparent silver grey and crystal clear artisan glass.

It is approximately 15 cm (L) x 6 cm (H) x 4.5 cm (D).

The textured nature of the clear glass adds additional visual and tactile interest.

It is a stand-alone piece of glass art suitable for display on any flat surface, such as a bookshelf, mantlepiece or console table.

If placed in front of a window or other direct light source, the translucent nature of the wave allows light to shine through and reflect a subtle silver colour onto the surrounding surfaces.

It could be used in the evening as a table or shelf decoration with a tealight or small candle behind it.

A little more about THE HANDCRAFTED PROCESS: In order to create the curve, I first cut silver grey artisan sheet glass (by hand) into the desired shape. I then placed the coloured glass on a clear glass base and added crystal clear glass frit (crushed glass). After assembling the piece, it was placed in the kiln and subjected to a contour fuse. This allowed the individual pieces to fuse together but still retain some of their original shape and texture. The fused panel was then cold-worked and fired once more before being placed in another kiln on top of a ceramic mould and fired a final time to shape the piece into a curve.

***As each curve is individually handcrafted there will be some variation from the images shown. Please message me prior to purchase if you would like a photo of the actual item in stock.
