Champleve vessel with patinated metal reserve. The Champleve technique requires precision hand inlay of opaque vitreous enamel glass slurries into cells that are acid etched in heavy gauge metal substrate. The vivid, luminous pools of glass are achieved over many days of sequential, exactly timed kiln firings at approximately 1500 deg F.

The "Ocean Pulse" decorative design was developed by enamelist Barry Wechsler, in the course of meditations on nature and quantum realities (ie, that we perceive simultaneously both an object's intrinsic waves and pulses.)

The vessel is heavy gauge copper and serves well as a decorative plate or meditation vessel. The surrounding metal reserve has a rich medium brown patina, accenting the vibrant white of the glass inlay. The plate is sold with a black steel stand, total height 17 in. Cotton gloves are provided, to enable worry-free handling of the vessel without fingerprints.

Each work is hand crafted, modeled after that shown and bearing unique, subtle differences. Each work bears the original hallmark of ultraWAVE Art Metal Studio.
