Porta Romana - Big Bang Lantern
An explosion of mica is suddenly frozen and fixed in place at the moment that the glass hardens, creating a spectacular pattern, unique to each piece. The big bang lantern is blown with a dilute mix of olive to lend a subtle antiquity to its colouring. Layers of glass and the addition of the almost mercury like sheets of mica, the result is something magical and impressive.
