PATINA collection is made using gold leaves burnt using hand torches to give the iridescent metal look which ends up looking as a leopard skin pattern naturally caused and made by hand. Each piece is hand made using spun glass technique, once the glass has cooled down we hand decorate each one on the back of the glass starting with gilding the silver, gold or copper leaves on the surface. Once the surface is cleaned from metal leaf residues, the item is heat cured we then layer organic pigment in steps to each glass piece by hand. As the metal layer soaks the paints in, all items are sealed with a special lacquer to assure its resistance to usage and heated for a final time to cure the item and penetrate all materials on the glass surface. Start to finish each one takes up to 3 hours to create. You can use this piece of art chip & dip tray during your most luxirous dinner party's to serve your guests in a chic and elegant way. You can place vegetables, sushi, chips or even biscuits on the edge while serving your dipping sauces or sweet creams in the center.
