Description
Pick up this great gift idea. This pitcher is a stellar example of the surprising beauty that can be achieved through upcycling ”the process of transforming waste or surplus materials into beautiful and useful new objects. Glass artist Nanda Soderberg takes 22 ounce beer bottles bound for the recycling bin (or worse the trash) and reshapes them into stately pitchers that retain only a hint of their past lives. Soderberg cuts the bottles to the desired height heats the vessel in a kiln to make it pliable enough to be reshaped into a bowl form and heat-fuses gestural strokes of gold leaf to the surface of the glass. The resulting pitcher retains a fluidity that reflects the upcycling process imbued with a preciousness through the interplay of glass and gold leaf. It makes a distinctive container for serving beverages but also can be used as a striking vase for flowers. Handmade in Manchester NH. Essential Details: Handmade Recycled item. Made from upcycled glass 23kt gold leaf Measurements 7.5" H x 2.75" diameter; 20 oz. capacity Notes: Dishwasher Safe Due to the handmade nature of this item size and color may vary.
