"Poetry Bowl" Verre Eglomisé, Hand-Gilded Gold Leaf, Hand-Painted Glass Bowl
I was in my garden holding my second cup of coffee when I looked at the small bubbly fountain we have, and saw reflections of blues and greens. I remembered a poem about different shades of turquoise, and knew right away . . . this was inspiration for "Poetry Bowl"!
I have gilded this unique glass bowl in lemon yellow gold leaf and hand painted using the verre églomisé technique. This gorgeous bowl is finished in turquoise blues, white, greens and gold. The bowl measures 5" X 4".
I was inspired by reverse painting and gilding on glass on a trip to Murano, Italy. My glass art pieces are all one-of-a-kind. Each is individually hand painted and gilded with 18 or 23-Karat gold, white gold or silver leaf. This process is called verre églomisé, a term for cold painting and gilding on the back of glass.
Enjoy, use, and gently hand-wash.
