Artisan Vintage 1980s Fused Glass Black Tray Dichroic Diamonds, 11.5x8” Great vintage condition consistent with its age. Defects & imperfections - please check pictures made under the bright light & magnification: • Light scratches and surface scuffs on the glossy black base • One curved scratch line in center, practically unnoticeable in real life. • Minor kiln marks and bubbles from the original fusing process • Back has a textured finish with shelf wear Pictures are part of the description, please check them & let me know if you require additional ones. Fascinating Fun Facts: • Dichroic glass was first developed by NASA for spacecraft coatings; its shifting rainbow effect comes from ultra-thin layers of metallic oxides fused to the glass. • Each piece of fused glass is artisan-made: the diamonds are cut, layered, and kiln-fired until they fuse into the black base. • The technique of glass fusing dates back to ancient Egypt but was revived by studio artists in the 20th century, making trays like this a modern continuation of an ancient craft.
