Fused Glass Art Disc with Iridescent Inclusions

This item is a circular art glass pedestal or decorative disc, approximately 8 to 12 inches in diameter, featuring a complex fused construction. The primary body is composed of translucent gray or smoke-tinted glass. A significant portion of the surface is heavily textured with organic, web-like patterns and embedded metallic-toned inclusions. These inclusions display a range of colors including copper, bronze, and iridescent green, suggesting the use of dichroic glass fragments or metallic foils fused within the layers. The piece exhibits an asymmetrical internal design that resembles a peacock feather or a fossilized botanical motif. The edges appear smooth and polished, consistent with a kiln-fired kilning process followed by professional cold-working. The craftsmanship indicates a contemporary studio glass origin, likely produced within the last 20-30 years. No visible signatures or maker’s marks are immediately apparent from the overhead view, but the high level of technical execution suggests a skilled glass artisan. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, surface scratches, or internal stress fractures, though the heavy texture makes small surface abrasions difficult to discern without tactile inspection. The interaction of light with the iridescent elements provides a dynamic visual quality typical of high-end studio glass art.
