Red Stripe Handkerchief Vase/Candle Shade

This beautiful hand-crafted fused Glass Handkerchief Vase 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 Handkerchief Vase 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. Beginning with a large circle of clear glass, a previously melted mix of red glass has been cut and arranged on the clear base. The piece is then fired in the kiln to fuse the design onto the base. On a second and final firing the piece is placed on a narrow circular mould around which the glass can drape forming the distinctive ‘Handkerchief’ shape. 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 completely symmetrical but unique one of a kind pieces!
