Description

The pâte-de-verre technique employed by Trinkley is achieved by combining ground glass and pigments in a mold. When fired, these materials coalesce, and after cooling the mold is removed. The resulting form recalls an ancient Roman cage vessel, made of carved glass, termed a diatretum.
