Autumn Tree Vase / Candle Shade
This beautiful hand-crafted fused Glass Autumn Tree Vase / Candle Shade is great for a small posy of flowers or a perfect shade for your Candles and looks great on a window sill, mantel piece or as a table centrepiece. The textured raised contour to the fused glass surface makes it a very tactile piece that you’ll want to touch!
Autumn Tree Vase / Candle Shade is a handmade and made to order item, so it will not be identical to the images shown but will be made just for you! As a result, slight variation from the image shown should be expected.
*Please note when using as a candle shade this item is suitable for Tea Light Candles only*
Creative Process
The piece has been made using a variety of glass mediums. The tree trunks are hand painted on a clear circular glass base using glass paints made for fusing and then small pieces of coloured glass and have been arranged to make the design. The piece is then fired in the kiln to just the right temperature so that the glass only just starts to melt and becomes a smooth raised contour to the surface making a very tactile piece. On a second and final firing the piece is placed on a narrow circular mould around which the glass can drape forming the vase shape. The resulting shape created is unpredictable and one of a kind.
Each firing process can take up to 14 hours to complete and every time the glass is fired it is cooled slowly and annealed for long enough to give it durability and strength.
As these are hand made and draped in the kiln they are not symmetrical but unique one of a kind pieces!
