Hanoverian Breed Symbol Art Glass Disk – 4″
$49.00
This piece is part of our Breed Symbol Collection of equestrian home decor. It is 4″ in diameter.
The bright orange Hanoverian breed symbol stands out boldly against the ivory background on this fused glass disk.
It’s a great gift to mark a special occasion — birthday, graduation, housewarming, anniversary, and the like. It is especially perfect to celebrate someone who’s purchased or sold a horse, accomplished an equestrian goal, or for a client or trainer.
Creating the dish was a 4-step process.
Glass Selection: First two circles of glass were cut to the dimensions of the finished piece, one ivory and the other clear.
Creating the Design: The Hanoverian breed symbol was created using a process called “powder printing”. Finely ground opaque red glass (known as powder frit) was sifted onto the clear glass using a stencil created on my laser cutter. After lifting the stencil and removing stray frit, this circle was placed on top of the ivory circle.
Fusing in the Kiln: The two layers were placed in a 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.
With one more firing, on top of a mold, this disk could become a bowl.
Note: Other breed symbols can also be ordered.
