- The Pleated Bowls are beautiful handmade art glass from the Murano region.
- This manufacturer invented the centrifuge machine and technique that spins molten glass into discs that are then manipulated by hand into various organic shapes.
- During the process, varying colors and finishes are applied to the glass.
- While still warm, the pieces are put through an annealing process in a tunnel oven to cool slowly so as not to explode.
- The annealing process can take anywhere from hours to many days, depending on the thickness of the glass.
- Annealing is a process of slowly cooling glass to relieve internal stresses after it is formed.
- The process may be carried out in a temperature-controlled kiln known as a Lehr.
- Glass that has not been annealed is liable to crack or shatter when subjected to a relatively small temperature change or mechanical shock.
- Annealing glass is critical to its durability.
