Description
Fused Glass Crumpled Look Checkered Bowl – Soft White & Peacock Green – Oceanside Collection
Price is for 1 x Bowl.
Handcrafted in my workshop in Cornwall, UK, these are perfect for presenting table food.
These serving bowls have been made with alternating hand cut glass squares and arranged neatly into a chequered pattern with a layer of clear glass on top and fused together flat in the kiln to just over 800°c. The flat glass is then placed onto a wavy mould and kiln fired once more to take the shape of the mould (slumping) creating these gorgeous wavy/crumpled bowl.
The inside has a flat bottom approx. 120mm x 120mm and the undulating sides fall and rise.
What is different?
Oceanside Glass products will have coloured squares on the base, capped with clear glass on the top.
Fused Glass usually consists of 2 flat layers of 3mm glass (one layer being coloured and the other being clear). Having the layer of clear glass on top, makes the surface completely food safe, adds a little depth to see the coloured glass, but does sometimes cause some natural tiny, small air bubbles to form which I think adds to the effect of being handmade (see the product photo for an example).
The colours available will be different shades to the original glass brand I use (called Bullseye).
If I already have some of your chequered glass; how do I know if it was made with Bullseye or Oceanside glass?
If the item was made before 2024 it will be Bullseye glass.
You can also look on the bottom of your item, if it has a little depth and some tiny air bubbles, it has been made with Bullseye glass.
If in doubt, get in touch.
Can I mix the Bullseye and Oceanside glass colours?
The short answer is no, these are two different types of glass and cannot be fused together, it will cause the glass to crack.
