This Sapphirine striker glass makes an unusual dish. The Sapphirine glass, after being fired and held at 1225 degrees for an hour (for color development), handles transmitted light quite unlike how it handles reflective light. Reflected, the dish appears dark coral/pink, but transmitted light allows the dish to appear violet/purple. This piece has undergone two firings and is food safe. This fused glass dish is gently slumped (sloped) measures 5” x 8”. Hand Wash recommended. Please no oven, microwave or dishwasher.
