Lauscha glass chicken granule technology

rooster and hen? Or chicken and hen? In any case, these two glasses stand together in unison and thus decorate the Easter coffee table. The dots of color from glass granules melted into the mouth-blown forms cast playful shadows.

Effortful handwork, as it is practiced in the Thuringian glass town of Lauscha for centuries, is in this Easter ornament. The hollow glass forms in granulate technique are created in three steps. In the first, crystal glass tubes are drawn into blanks before the flame. In these blanks is then filled with the colored glass granules - very finely ground glass - before in the final step first blank and colored glass particles are melted in front of the flame and then the object is mouth-blown to its final shape and formed free.
