This handmade fused glass lily was one of 56 I made for my end-of-degree show for my BA(HONS) in glass at the University of Sunderland based at the National Glass Centre. Just over half of these were wafer-thin and unable to be sold due to being very fragile; the remainder were more robust. I made some of these in threes, but the finished lilies may be similar.

Stamens were made for each lily from glass stringers and small transparent glass pieces. Each one assembled and then slumped into shape. These were then glued into the centre for added detail. Then, each has a wall mount fitting glued to the back for displaying on a wall. Each lily measures approximately 25cm x25cm x 9cm and is in a handmade box for easy transportation and with its certificate of authenticity.
