This is the third in a series of four decor families where the glass is applied then manipulated with tools or mold. Pulled glass is a hot or cold application, some pieces are single colored others are pre-fab layers glass (in the case of the marquetry above. This glass from Czechoslovakia 1920's-30's can be very layered with decor types... so these picture studies help to for the basic vocabulary for each decor composition. in future postings I will show the layering effect of techniques.
pieces if interest:
1st pic bottom R- this one uses transparent colors pulled
2nd pic bottom L - these pulls are uncased
2nd pic bottom R this piece has a strong grid that does not fuse to the base
4th piece bottom R this piece appears to get its drape decor by sliding a tool through a spiral pattern
Great post...would love to see these made...
