Marwick Head/ Orkney Illuminated Glass

Description

This a large piece. Approximately 32 x 38 cm.

The design is created entirely from enamels and has 4 x separate firings which build the depth of colour and texture in this piece. The design also features a large gold lustre moon that gives the piece a sense of opulence.

The design depicts a familiar and favourite coastal scenic view in Orkney, Marwick Head the cliffs and Lord Kitcheners memorial atop the headland.

The glass is cone shaped and slots into a custom made wooden base which has 4x concealed LED lights fitted with a cable and plug. The light looks stunning without the illumination but makes a stunning lit piece on a table top or sideboard.The base is painted a matt black and should compliment any room or office.

I use clear glass with applied enamels and lustre to achieve the design. The final firing require the glass to be draped over a mould to shape the piece.

The base is made locally by a craftsman in Deerness. The glass is made in my studio Ingaskeldt in beautiful Orkney.

The light would appeal to folk who know the area or have a love for the Orkney Islands and its landscape.

If the light is to be shipped abroad I would need to obtain a quote for postage.
