Wholesale 36-700 Firey Phoenix

Handmade, lamp worked glass Firey Phoenix. The Phoenix has dichroic glass in the belly and tail. You can choose rainbow dichro on black or rainbow dichro on clear. Size: 8x4 inches The Dichroic Glass is produced in big vacuum chambers. During the 2 hour coating process, the walls of the chamber have to withstand a 128 Ton Pressure. Six separate computers are controlling the process. A 10,000 Volt Beam Gun vaporizes a mix of quartz and metal oxides in a crucible inside the vacuum chamber. While certain gases are emitted into the chamber by layering 15-30 coats of this vapor onto the glass, the different colors are achieved. The outcome of these colors also depend on the time they are exposed to the beam gun. After this process, the vapors mixed with the gases attach onto the glass surface in form of crystal structure.
