Ra Ruffle Gold Bowl 7" Small

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 mold’s 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-sabi—in which asymmetry and “imperfection” enhance beauty.

The tiny, shallow Annieglass Ruffle 7 Inch Bowl was inspired by a ballet tutu and is just as cute. Ruffled edges hand painted with 24k gold or platinum on clear glass adds understated elegance to this versatile handmade glass bowl. Use as an individual dish for appetizers or desserts, when paired with luxury dinnerware and serving pieces from the Annieglass Ruffle Collection, or add a small candle for use as votive.
