Description

A Small Square Jewellery or Keepsake box made from Stained Glass using the Tiffany copper foil technique.



The box is a clear Amber colour, the Circle has a wonderfully Iridescent /Green with flecks of Purple /Blue/Golden colour that constantly changes colour as you move it. The sides of the top of the lid are covered in solder which has a copper patina.



Each piece of glass is cut into shape, the edges are then ground to make a key, so that the glue on the copper foil tape adheres to the edge of the glass. The copper tape is then folded around and burnished to the edge of the glass as tightly and as neatly as possible. All the glass pieces are assembled, fluxed and soldered together. The piece is then cleaned of flux and a Copper 0Patina has been used on the solder to enhance the Iridescent effect, the Patina will tarnish attractively with age.



The lid is on a hinge and opens as shown in the pictures.



The box is approximately 8 cm wide x 8 cm high x 4 cm deep.



It will be securely wrapped and padded when posted.
