Fused bowl, a vibrant combination

A fused Bowl in a vibrant glass combination

Vibrant reds and oranges combined in a 'folded bowl', a shape that ensures almost magical effects when seen from different angles. Like all of Frank's work, this is a unique piece. In several firings up to 820 0C (1500 0F) glass was fused.

A huge number of rectangles of coloured glass were cut and fused together, becoming one slab of glass in the process. The slab was ground and polished to remove all traces on the side it was fused on to achieve a total, shiny, transparent object. Then, in a second firing, the slab became a bowl by slumping it through a hole in a mould, a process requiring permanent monitoring.

After cutting off the parts the slump rested on and meticulously grinding and polishing the rim, the bowl got its final shape in a third firing. The mix of reds and oranges and the play of the small rectangles covering each other depending on the angle at which one looks at the work provide an ever-interesting feast for the eye. 

An option is to combine this object with the object nr. FH000006, the two together make an even more impressive statement.  

The object's actual size, height x width x depth, is 14,5 x 38,5 x 15 cm,
