A first for Burlingham Glass

First blog and first commissioned piece - well it's not really my first commissioned piece because I have made special 'quotation' plates before. But I've never created a piece from scratch as the result of a particular brief. My client wanted something to give a very special friend. And this is the resulting piece.

Client very pleased, recipient very pleased (even phoned me to say so) and I think it is a style I could build upon. It is made entirely of glass, is totally durable, and will last forever without fading.

Also continuing to produce further items in a new design which I call 'sweetie-pie'. My first piece was a large plate (shown below) and the detailed edge is a style to develop. Everyone who has seen it so far loves it (a good sign I'd say). Every plate uses different glass in a random fashion which makes each one unique. I'm happy to take commissions and to work in a limited palette if asked.
