encalmo plate

encalmo is the italian term for the technique used in creating this effect. In theory what happens is that two separate coloured bubbles are joined at the rim and formed into one bubble, which is blown up and shaped into a bowl or plate, resulting in a definite partition of colour. These pieces are unique as the colour combination vary, no two being the same colour combination. On some of the bowls and plates I have sand blasted decoration, adding a third dimension to the piece. size of plate in image: 34.5 x 6 cm price: € 200, pieces range in price depending on the size and type of finish/decoration applied
