Switch Axis Platter

This hand blown glass platter was created by first rolling a molten clear bubble of glass over multiple rods of black glass. The next is another layer of molten clear glass is gathered on the bubble, it is blown into a sphere, and the a molten bit of clear is dropped on the bottom to create a foot for the platter. The final move is to put another metal rod on the bottom, brake off the blow pipe, and spin the sphere into a large flat plate. It is then quickly dropped over a wok to give it the bowl-like form. When finished the platter is place into a 950 degree oven to cool slowly overnight. This platter measures about 17 inches wide. The photo is the exact platter that will be shipped to you.
