KWPN Breed Symbol Catch-All Dish on Ivory Art Glass 4″

This bowl is part of our Breed Symbol Collection of equestrian art glass home decor. It is 4″ in diameter.

I hope you enjoy this versatile art glass piece. It comes with a display stand so you can enjoy it on its own. It can also be used as a paperweight, making it an ideal gift for anyone who works with papers under the ceiling fans that are so common in Wellington, FL.

Creating the dish was a 5-step process.
Glass Selection: First two circles of glass were cut to the dimensions of the finished piece, one ivory and the other iridized clear.
Creating the Design:The Dutch Warmblood breed symbol was created using a process called “powder printing”. Finely ground opaque green glass (known as powder frit) was sifted onto the iridized clear glass using a stencil created on my laser cutter. After lifting the stencil and removing stray glass powder, this circle was placed on top of the ivory circle.
Fusing in the Kiln: The two layers were placed in an electric kiln and heated to 1475 degrees, the temperature at which glass melts and the layers fused together.
Refining the Edges: After fusing, the edge of the piece was ground to eliminate irregularities.
Shaping the Dish: The flat circle had to be fired one more time to 1425 degrees to melt the edge and “fire polish” the rim.

Note: Other breed symbols can also be ordered.
