Handblown in our working glassblowing studio in Woolwich, London, each Miami Fruit Platter is built in two parts.
The top is formed from a large piece of opaque coloured molten glass, gathered over and free-blown into a wide, low form - a technically demanding shape that requires careful heat control and steady tooling.
The stem is assembled hot from generous gathers of glass, shaped by hand on the iron and finished with a blown foot for balance.
The elements are joined hot to create a stable sculptural platter. After annealing overnight, the rim is trued and finished by hand in the cold shop.
Designed for generous display, the result is a durable handblown glass platter with confident colour and clear structure at the table.
