Description

This wee dish measures approximately 8 x 8 cm. and will be posted  in my branded box.

I made the dish using clear flat glass, cut to size, cleaned and sanded the edges, then  kiln fired the design in two stages with frits and enamels.  The final firing includes slumping the glass into a ceramic mould which will result in the gentle curve of the dish.

If you would like to order one, please let me know if you have a preference for a dominant colour.

If  required, please ask me for a phone pic of current stock for you to choose from.

I make a lot of this product and my stock changes regularly.

 

Here’s what Historic Environment Scotland say about the historic site,

Walk among the enigmatic stones of one of the most spectacular prehistoric monuments in the British Isles. The Ring of Brodgar Stone Circle and Henge is an enormous ceremonial site dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.

The Ring of Brodgar comprises:

  • A massive stone circle, originally consisting of 60 stones – 36 survive today
  • At least 13 prehistoric burial mounds
  • A large rock-cut ditch surrounding the stone circle

The Scottish geologist Hugh Miller, visiting in 1846, wrote that the stones ‘look like an assemblage of ancient druids, mysteriously stern and invincibly silent and shaggy’.

The Ring of Brodgar is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, a series of important domestic and ritual monuments built 5000 years ago in the Orkney Islands.
