Description

Iridescent Art Glass Plates — a luminous celebration of modern studio glass, echoing the legacy of Tiffany while embracing contemporary form. These hand-formed dessert plates exhibit a stunning rainbow sheen — a result of metallic salts fused to the glass during high-temperature firing. Each surface reveals a unique interplay of pink, blue, violet, and gold hues that shift in changing light.

The technique, known as iridizing, was popularized in the 20th century by artists inspired by ancient Roman glass and revived by innovators like Louis Comfort Tiffany. These plates are likely modern studio interpretations of that movement — designed more for visual delight than daily use, though suitable for special occasions
.

With their subtle irregularities and high-gloss finish, they offer both sculptural beauty and historical resonance.
