Wall Mounted Coat / Towel Hook - Compressed Glass

These unique handmade wall mounted coat / towel hooks are created from compressed glass making for a perfect coat hook that doubles as wall art. They are approximately 3" x 3" and about 1/8" thick and stand off from the wall about 1". The term compressed refers to the process of how this style of glass is created. It starts with three hand cut colors of glass each being 3 mm thick. The three pieces are then stacked and weight is placed on them and they are fired in the kiln. The weight compresses the glass from 9 mm to about 2 mm thickness and creates new colors and patterns during the compression process. Once fired, each piece is hand sanded and then fired again at a lower temperature to give a smooth matte finish or at a higher temperature to give it a gloss finish. They are then adhered to a stainless steel stand to create a unique coat or towel hook.
