It has a substantial chunky feel and semi-transparent appearance and measures 14 x 12cm with a maximum height of 2.5cm. Looks great as a display item - preferably place on a plain, white coloured surface or the surface will be visible through the transparent glass - as demonstrated in the final image\r\n\r\nConstruction notes: The strip-cut technique involves precisely cutting a large number of narrow strips of glass,  in contrasting colours, and packing them tightly together on edge. Placing the glass on edge is what gives the finished item its chunky, substantial appearance.  There is a LOT of glass in this dish for its size -  81 strips in three colours and four sizes, all of which were cut by hand and stacked on edge, and incorporating open spaces at precise intervals, which the neighbouring glass flows into during the fusing process. Top fusing temperature is 815°C, which results in the beautiful merging together of the strips. After fusing, the resulting blank was cold worked to finesse the edges and then placed over a ceramic mould and fired again at a lower temperature to give the final shape.
