Etched Glass Ghost - "All will fade"
This is the second Glass Ghost we have made. The first “Resident” Glass Ghosts were sold in Ghost Week 2021 and have become prized amongst collectors. Each glass Ghost is press-moulded using a clear lime-soda glass. After cooling and de-moulding, the glass is polished at high temperature (known as fire polishing). The finished ghosts are more resistant to physical damage in comparison to many other types of glass. As with all small batch products there may be small variations to the surface of your Ghost, these are part of the glass-making process rather than faults.
The “All will fade” Glass Ghost features a shroud of frosted, etched glass which fades towards the clear base. On the underside of the base are etched the words “All will fade”. We have worked in collaboration with Andy Poplar who has spent the last 10 years taking iconic items of glassware and bringing them to life with the tools of typography, wit, wordplay and a slightly askew way of looking at the world.
