Remarkable studio glass handcrafted leave made of pate de verre (literally, glass paste).
Stylized pate de verre leaf with shallow veins on the front and no veins at the back. Thick rounded raised central part and nicely dented and cut edge. Soft semi-translucent glass with hints of opaque white. A hole in the glass allows the art glass work to be hung on a wall or suspended.
The process of working in the pate de verre method involves making a paste out of glass powder and a liquid binder or adhesive. Once the right texture is achieved, the mixture is placed inside a mold and then fired inside a kiln. This studio method of casting glass allows to produce sculptures and sculptural objects. Pate de verre requires a lot of artistic hand work. See also item A01008.
