Select collections are hand painted with 24k gold and genuine platinum, and then each piece is individually set by hand into kilns, where at high temperatures the glass drapes over handmade ceramic molds. Precious metals permanently fuse to the glass during this step, and the glass slumps into their molds individual patterns, rendering each piece of Annieglass a unique work of art. The 24k gold and genuine platinum reveal the artisans individual brush strokes, as well as a slightly distressed appearance from the organic materials movement during kiln fire. These effects are by no means a defect, but rather are intentionally crafted into every unique Annieglass piece to celebrate the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabiin which asymmetry and imperfection enhance beauty.
The Annieglass Edgey Pedestal Stand has earned its place of center stage admiration. A tiered base rises into a generously sized 13" plate, with edges hand-chipped then painted with 24k gold and platinum for an elevated, sophisticated rawness only found in the Annieglass Edgey Collection. Upholding the most decadent of desserts, this handmade glass pedestal cake stand is a bridal gift registry favorite and Mother's Day gift knock-out.
