Description

Higgins style studio glass flying saucer shaped hanging light. In fused glass with cool colors of aqua, teal and cream and having wonderfully shaped decorative metal trims in satin black, as well the chain and ceiling canopy. The lead came between the glasses and the twisted lead came, all a neutral grayish color.

Michael and Frances Higgins brought back the ancient art of fusing glass in the mid 50s. Because it is so labor-intensive, fusing had, by the mid-twentieth century, been all but abandoned in favor of glass blowing. Essentially, fusing is the creation of a “glass sandwich”.

Newly rewired and with a new UL socket that takes a standard medium base bulb, 75 watt max.

Measurements: 45 inch drop including fixture. 36 inch chain. Fixture: 8 1/2 inches high x 16 1/2 inches diameter.
