Thunderheads at Sunset Kilnformed Glass Plate

A streaky mix of pumpkin, black and white is perfectly complemented by a delicate stream of turquoise running through the middle. The band of turquoise runs around the whole edge, and the back is warm, cheery pumpkin — the same color as the top left color and the little islands in the middle. Note the bands of the streaky pattern that surround each piece. This is a beautiful but unexpected effect — as the streaky pieces sunk down into the turquoise layer, the vertical edge of each piece turned up and exposed the cross-section of the glass.

The piece curves up gently on each end to a maximum height of 0.75 inches (2 cm). In the middle, a shallow rectangular depression serves as both the foot and the well to hold the plate’s contents.

This piece is food-safe, and hand washing is recommended. Handmade in the United States with glass produced in Oregon.
