Ebony & Ivory Charger - Murano Glass

The charger features handmade Murano glass crafted using a specialized centrifuge technique that spins molten glass into discs. Its ebony and ivory pattern results from varying colors applied during the hand-manipulation process, while the annealing process ensures durability by slowly cooling the glass to relieve internal stresses. The watertight construction makes it suitable for both decorative and functional use. W48 x D48 x H10 cm.

Color/pattern: ebony & ivory Design details: these pieces are handmade glass from the Murano region.EThis manufacturer invented the centrifuge machine and technique that spins molten glass into discs that are then manipulated by hand into various organic shapes. During the process, varying colors and finishes are applied to the glass.EStill, warm pieces are put through an annealing process in a tunnel oven to cool slowly so as not to explode.EThe annealing process can take anywhere from hours to many days depending on the thickness of the glass.EAnnealing is a process of slowly cooling glass to relieve internal stresses after it was formed.EThe process may be carried out in a temperature-controlled kiln known as a lehr. glass that has not been annealed is liable to crack or shatter when subjected to a relatively small temperature change or mechanical shock.EAnnealing glass is critical to its durability.
