Fused Glass "Pot Melt" Clock

Potmelt clock
(Click to Enlarge.)

Do you have the time?  This clock is a mixture of many colors of glass, done in a technique called "pot melt".  Glass is placed in a ceramic pot with holes in the bottom.  It is then fired to a very high temperature so that the glass becomes "liquid" and melts into a round.  It is cold worked (grinding & polishing) fired again and then drilled for the clock hands.  This 8" piece can be hung from the attached hanger or kept in a stand as shown.  This truly is "one of a kind!"
