How it’s made: Molten glass is spun and coloured vitreous enamel powder is added to the surface. The glass is then skillfully hand blown to form the required shape of the ornament. The unique and decorative, iridescent finish is achieved by applying an open flame to the glass and then spraying the object with a special chemical. Finally, skilled silversmiths carefully apply decorative sterling silver to the richly coloured glass. Due to this hand made processes, each item is unique and no two pieces are ever identical.
