| Place of origin |
Pate de verre was developed as a technique by Henri Cros in France at the end of the 19thC. Diana Hobson began fresh experiments into the process in 1980, when it had largely fallen into disuse. This example was among the first in a new series in which she incorporated found materials. The original form was made in clay from which she made a quartz and plaster mould. The glass is lead crystal and the work was fired at 700c.
