This piece was also created 2 ago and after the first firing, had significant damage. As with the piece featured yesterday, bubbles made the piece unattractive and dangerous to use.

Since this piece was also three layers deep, grinding off a lot of the top layer did not significantly alter the glass in the middle layer, which makes up the majority of the image/composition. this piece was also very irregular around the edges, so I ground them off until the piece was squarish.

After the 2016 firing, I considered grinding out the new bubble and trying again. I decided to slump the square instead and see if additional bubbles rose to the surface - they did not. I could still grind lff the bubble top, but would need to fire the piece 1 fourth time.

For now, I am leaving this piece the way it is. It, too, is right up there in the Waterford Crystal category for cost. More think-time required!
