Chicago Flag Fused Glass Long Platter
This platter features a section of wispy white-clear glass in the center, bordered on either side by sections of opaque powder blue glass, and features the four 6-pointed Chicago flag stars screen printed in red enamel, then fused in a kiln to about 1400 degrees. It is then cold worked on wet saws and grinders, then returned to the kiln to slump into a mold to about 1250 degrees.
It is about 7 1/2 x 15" x about 1/4" thick and, after fusing, is slumped into a sushi-style mold, making it about 1 1/2" tall at the corners.
These make great wedding and housewarming gifts. Each platter comes in its own gift box, ready for wrapping. These make fantastic serving or cheese/charcuterie platters, and look equally fabulous on your table or hanging on the wall. They are food safe and while they are dishwasher safe (china cycle, please), we recommend hand washing (dishwasher detergent can etch glass over time, resulting in scratched and cloudy glassware).
