In recent times we see these heavy, heavy paperweight of various shapes and sizes, and similar items with glass enclosed, colourful ornaments, flowers, leaves, flowers and regularly arranged bubble probably rare, but has this wild and colorful pattern stopped, and there are more artistic and more expensive brands. The fabrication of these glasses is not particularly difficult, but it requires quite a skill and quickness including the worker. In the following we want some production methods such art jars described in detail.
It used for these purposes includes diverse, in the mass dyed, so solid-color glasses, either transparent or opaque, including pink, yellow, blue, green, black, white in a variety Abtönungen, also already produced from these glasses, colored patterned Filigranglasstäbe , whose manufacturing is generally known. Using the color glass in grobgestoßenem state as a wild flower carpet, it should be noted that the bright colors but not too strong vorstechen. Delicate colored Abtönungen always make a better impression, so appealing. The round or square and shot inside richly decorated Mille Fiori sticks depending on the needs in matching pieces cut, even well after the soft Be in the glass furnace plattgedrückt and various leaves and flowers together.
Will you have a round, flat at the base paperweight, it is first with a massive pipe de Külbchen crystal glass, and in the Motze to länglichrunden ball. Will you now Mille Fiori use chopsticks, so the amount of Külbchens appropriately tailored pieces are kept, which vorgewärmtem states, in any quantity, but in gleichweiten intervals along to the soft Külbchen such angepreßt, that the ends up at the head of the Külbchens pretty much converge to a point, therefore, from above, a vielstrahligen Stern. This is something Külbchen je, then the place where the rods together with the iron Zwick taken something out, and this ausgezogene piece is cut off with scissors. This will all stick in a Community unites center. You can also pipe while dragging with the iron Zwick rotate, making the rods in a diagonal position. The now so Külbchen is prepared by immersing in mass colorless glass with a glass layer, and in the Motze ball to a rounded, which is above that middle place where the rods together, deep in the Külbchen einsticht, and the resulting slightly funnel-shaped opening. About Considering the post again with colourless glass and smooths then again in the Motze, appear inserted rods from a common root points ascending, lozenge or wrong tortuous, while in the middle of the funnel-shaped impressions a hollow, reflecting pearl formed . Simultaneously, the round glass item below short of the pipe using the Zwickeisens so constricted that the lower ends of the rods is also a common point converge. The glass is then posts with the issue of iron pipe at the opposite Central Station and taken from the pipe separated. The Sprengstelle is then in the glass furnace and plattgedrückt je. While this work has been on the Marbelplatte a mixture of colored glass grobgestoßenen chunk prepared by Aufdrücken which flattened the lower body of the glass and is heading. This procedure can also repeat the prior heating.
You get to build a layer of colored glass, which pretty much a wild flower beds similar to what the lozenge winding Stängelkrone excellence. To top it all an even reizvolleres appearance to lend, in the coloured soil layer after matching preheating using a pointed iron close to each other holes of different depths and in different directions preluknja, which forms, for which we hold grasses different coloration.
These wild decoration of the lower surface, which in tasteful choice of colour glasses and skilful handling but also provides fairly successful works, it can also by ornamental decoration, from chopsticks or polished glass plates containing various colors and stars, rosettes or geometric patterns united replaced. You can also many, in the short glass goods occurring, called Gablonz articles, as pressed flowers, rosettes, stars and even decorated with enamel paints, small glass things for these purposes and use in the lower, soft part of the glass batch einpressen. The ornamental design will be first in precise size of a piece of bad luck or other adhesives bestrichenes cardboard paper and attached symmetrically arranged, which also work on stock are concerned. If the glass matching item after heating it to the ornament angepreßt, burn paper and bad luck, while the model with the soft glass zusammenschmilzt posts.
Is now the lower part of the glass item in one way or another with colored Glasbröckchen or an ornamental pattern, it is this layer with a strong position colorless glass excessive. It warms the glass item for that purpose in the glass furnace to angeschmolzene colored muster with the Plätteisen to pave and plunges this about the lower third of the post into the liquid glass mass to the color layer to cover. You can, however, a fresh issue the necessary iron Quantum record and the glass on the bottom, patterned part of the post to accumulate. In both cases, this fresh coat of glass processing in the Motze and with the Plätteisen and by repeated Reheat rounded and smoothed so that he fully with the item zusammenschmilzt. The nearly finished glass piece is then at the bottom, opposite side of a fresh iron stapled booklet, the first issue of iron and separated by a few warm-up and smoothing in the Motze finished and smoothly rounded.
If the glasses except for the colored decorations even more evenly distributed, or elongated bubbles, it is the first item instead of a massive hollow Külbchen formed, which after inflation close to the pipe by Zwick with the ratio of iron to be closed, so that the air not escape what is its round shape fairly flat expression. This flattened, hollow Külbchen Zwick is with the iron by compressing the upper and lower glass wall in any number, 6-8 voids star equal parts. Through Külbchens dragging the glass with fresh mass and appropriate editing can be air bubbles different situation and also teach in the same shape in various ways with the colored decoration combine. Nor can one other air bubbles form on the way to produce that in a massive Külbchen, whose home affairs even with color glass ornament can be accepted, regularly distributed holes einsticht and conical extended, as is the item by immersing in colorless glass with fresh ground glass layer covers .
The further processing of the bubble is very divers, they can move into the long, round, helical winding, with different shaped and colored decorated Glasstengeln prove or girt and everything back to a Külbchen unite. The different kinds of combinations can be with skill and taste execute at the end, you always colored glass mass about it and gives the whole a round, oval, flattened or spitzige figure.
Because of the massive nature and severity of the paperweight require a particularly careful and slow cooling. The lower surface grind it, but sometimes even the whole round wrinkled surface ground. *
