Description

Hampton LongPlatter is handcrafted, and mouth-blown from molten glass. We gather the molten glass from 1100 degrees centigrade, where it sits, then it’s conjured out onto our pipe. Adding color, shaping and blowing, tooling. Reheating the glass all the while, thrusting it into the intense flame. A “Foot” is added, and shaped, then we “puntie up”. The Hampton Long Platter is spun out which is amazing to see in person! Once the desired shape is reached, we “knock it off” and add our maker’s mark to finish. It is put away to relax in 520 degree celsius heat- called the annealing process, which takes a further 12 hours. Each piece is lovingly created, to be as unique as you. A fabulous big size, making it perfect for the Christmas table.

Hampton Long Platter was made by glass artists Faerie Fleur , in Tamborine Mountian. We love blowing glass and take great pride in creating such works for you. Do you want to know a little secret? Once you have tried glassblowing for yourself, you will see the magic that comes together in the moments of making your own piece. It really is an exhilarating when you finish a piece and “get to put it away”.

We truly appreciate your support, Thank you.
