Enjoy this in your own kitchen or give it as a unique house warming gift that will be well used. Either way, rest assured that no one will have one exactly like it! The round glass cabochon measures approximately 2 1/4 inches wide and the stopper is approximately 4.5 - 5" long. Do not clean in a dishwasher, please clean by hand. The top can be unscrewed from the bottom for easier cleaning.
To get the desired shape and size involves cutting, grinding, cleaning, firing, some additional cold work and then a second firing to pull all of the design elements together. The piece was gradually fired to 1475 degrees, then a controlled cooling or annealing that adds strength and durability. This process typically takes 24-48 hours. All of my pieces are created and fired in my home studio, which is smoke and pet free.
