Welcome to my shop of unique, handmade, glass enamelled jewellery and ornaments.
POSTAGE I send my orders by Royal Mail tracked48 within 3 days of receipt.
Where possible I recycle packaging.
I am happy to consider special requests and commissions. Contact me through folksy.
If you experience any difficulty in placing an order please let me know.
The majority of my work involves using the malleability of the glass enamel to decorate the copper blanks I use. The results are wholly unpredictable. Sooner or later the enamel will cool to a point at which I can no longer manipulate it, leaving me with a pattern of swirls and textures determined by the material. The final result is a compromise between my aspirations and the impracticability of reworking the piece. Few pieces are lost entirely. There are many more possibilities lurking in the kiln.

Full description
This is a low, almost flat, copper dish decorated with glass enamel. It is 90mm in diameter. You might use it as a dressing table tray or a table centrepiece. Among other uses, customers at fairs have suggested that my dishes and bowls may be just the thing to use to drop a tea bag on when you take it from your mug or cup or may make good soap dishes.
I made it by building a base of clear enamel over the copper shape. The copper shows through this, giving the golden brown tones. I added rods of dark brown enamel and a scattering of golden yellow enamel to the centre of the dish. Then, while the dish was red hot, in my kiln, I drew a steel point through the surface to generate the random, swirled pattern you see.
The dish is counter-enamelled black on the reverse.
Your dish will be sent by Royal Mail, first class, signed for.
Designed by Francis Hayes in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire
