Presented in this lot is an Original Signed S. Charlton Fused Copper Glassware Serving Platter. Stunning hand crafted / fused glass & copper long handled tray by J Moilanen (formerly Charlton Glassworks). Piece is slightly bowed, not flat, handles on each end. Designing glass applications for more than twenty years within Charlton Glassworks, John Moilanen and his mother, Sandie Charlton, revived the ancient art of combining glass and metal. The individually, hand-cut metals are fused between layers of glass to form functional pieces of art. The 1500-degree firing process turns the end product into unique, fiery images. The result of the eighteen-hour heating & cooling cycle is a durable, yet beautiful, piece of glass art. Raised on the shores of North Puget Sound, John Moilanen is a third generation Northwest artist and entreprenuer born of Finnish and Norweigan descent. Having studied at the University of Washington and gaining a unique skill set throughout multiple mediums, John continues to push the elements of design and application related to glass, metal and wood. Marketing his work across the country in New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta and Seattle, John has gained a national reputation as a proven glass artist and craftsman. Current work may be found in galleries across the country. The condition of this fused copper glass platter is very fine, amazing coloration of the copper fused within the glass. No marring noted. Signed and dated S. Charlton 2002 bottom front corner, measures 10"W x 17.5"L
