Colors of the Rainbow Bud Vase

This vase is a beautiful addition to any home décor.  Perfect for a single bud or a few stemmed blooms.  This vase makes a special, unique, artisan made gift. 

The artistic process:  I started by combining glass stringers of red, yellows and blues glass into a design in a thick round shape and fused together then stacked with clear glass and fired to a thick round shape.   That piece is placed on a round ring with a hole in center that is elevated above the kiln floor.  The kiln is programmed to heat to certain temperatures where I watch as the glass slowly drops through the inside of the rim until it touches the kiln floor, I then flash cool to annealing temperatures.  Once it is fully annealed and cooled, I cut the top rim of glass off with a tile saw  then grind and polish the top to a smooth finish.  

Dimensions: 1.75" diameter x 3.5" tall
