Glass Bean Dish: Sky Blue Cloud

Glass fusing is a technique that involves combining various glass materials such as sheets, frit, and powders, and then firing them in an electric kiln. Glass pieces fired at temperatures up to approximately 800°C possess a lustrous beauty, allowing you to enjoy the unique transparency and colors of glass. The possibilities for combining colors and patterns are endless, making it a technique that sparks creative inspiration. This small dish was created using this fusing technique. To highlight the inherent transparency of glass, a colorless transparent base was used, cut into a cloud shape and colored with a range of blue glass powders. The varying densities of the glass powder create a soft gradation, resulting in a dish with a gentle atmosphere. With its slightly raised edges and a nearly flat surface, this dish is ideal for items with a moist texture or smaller confections. It's perfect for serving alongside sencha tea or coffee, holding small Japanese sweets, chocolates, or bite-sized cakes. It can also serve as a tray for earrings or other accessories. Its versatility allows for various uses. As the base glass is thin, it offers a lighter feel compared to heavier dishes, though it may be less stable. Please note that this is not heat-resistant glass, so avoid using boiling water and be mindful of sudden temperature changes. We hope you will enjoy the layered colors woven by the glass, as well as its transparency and texture. * Dimensions: 10.5cm (width) x 9cm (depth) * Height: 5mm * Thickness: 3mm * Weight: 55g ---------- *Important notes regarding your order:* * Please be aware that the item may break if subjected to strong impact. * This is not heat-resistant glass, so please refrain from exposing it to boiling water.
