I thought I would follow-up on my last CW post with these close-ups of spatter glass pieces that are not the typical variety, imho. The first pic is of my previous post - and the most unusual - some colors I had not seen and individual spots that themselves look like they are miniature spatter glass examples. All four of these examples have the spots on the surface - with #2 being the least three dimensional. The last two examples are more like frit & spatter. Ordered most flat to most three dimensional, it is ( Pics 2 - 1 - 4 - 3). Wondering how the spots got on the spots in example #1? Only in #1 do you see any significant overlap of color on color. Please click on the individual pictures to see better detail.
Thanks Gary, love to see pics sometime.
Gary, went to your posts and saw some
Thanks everyone
Thanks Gary, another nice one!
The spots are applied by rolling the glass on to broken coloured glass ( frit) , which has been scattered on the marver (table) .Depending on how thickly or sparsely scattered the frit is determines the density of covering . hope that makes sense ??
In 1# the piece has been lightly blown into a mold in #3 & #4 just applied and perhaps heated so they ( the frit) adheres .
Yes, thanks Marty I understand. What I don't understand is how the individual spots of melted frit in this particular example have multiple colors within them. Perhaps the frit was pieces of a multi-colored ground-up vase?

Following up on comment #8, I'm thinking that pieces of broken vases/pieces after production were reused in new production - or perhaps the broken pieces were first melted together and then crushed?
