Bovano bright iridescent fused glass on copper charger or serving try

About the Item

Large size Bovine serving tray or charger . Fused glass on copper . The history of Bovano of Cheshire began in 1952, when artist Jim Bower began experimenting with powdered glass fused to small copper plates in the basement of his home in Cheshire, Connecticut. His playful approach resulted in early designs applied to small glass enamel plates, which were sold under the name "Bower Enamels." Finely ground crystals are fused to treated copper surfaces at high temperatures to create brilliant, iridescent surfaces . As many as twenty-five different steps are required to handcraft each piece of Bovano .
