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.- {{cite web|title=Pinky|url=false|author=Karla Trinkley|year=1994|access-date=23 February 2026|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
