Trio Of Teal Crystalline Pendant Lights
My trio of teal crystalline pendant lights were wheel thrown from high-fire stoneware. They are stunning over a kitchen Island or peninsula (I have similar ones hanging in my home!) The insides are also finished in the gorgeous crystalline glaze combo and the crystals positively glow when lit up. Please note, I provide ikea 240v light fittings with the pendant lights as they fit the opening of the pendant light perfectly. These are suitable for most European countries and Israel. If you order from the US or another country which uses different voltage, you’ll need to change the wiring – please consult an electrician before purchasing.
There are many steps to making crystalline glazed ceramics so it is incredibly time consuming, but I hope you’ll agree that the results are worth the effort! I make every crystalline glaze in the studio right before every glaze firing, as the glazes don’t ‘keep’ well. The components need to be measured precisely to the fraction of a gram and applied carefully in numerous, thick coats. Every piece has a single-use, hand built ‘riser’ and ‘glaze catcher’ dish made to fit it perfectly for the glaze firing. This is necessary as the high gloss, two-dimensional crystals need a glaze that flows a lot to develop, and all that flowing glaze has to go somewhere. After the glaze firing, the pieces are removed from the risers and catchers by a number of methods and then the razor edged base needs to be sanded, using 5 different grit sanders until it’s baby-bottom smooth. My crystalline pieces are glaze fired to 1300 degrees celcius over 16.5 hours. They are dishwasher safe, but I recommend to hand wash them to preserve their beauty.
