Thanks.History: Fused glass is made by taking 2 layers of clearglass and putting a design between them, then heating in a very hot kiln. Theresult is that the design is fused between the 2 layers. The bottom layercontains bubbles and has a crinkly texture that feels smooth. The upper layer iscrystal clear and smooth that is thick and heavy. Peggy Karr Glass wasestablished in 1987 and is in New Jersey. The uniqueness at Peggy Karr Glassextends into the industrial side of their business. Peggy designed the kilns inthe early 1990's specifically for their product. When the glass and color areheated to 1600° F they fuse together and form one piece of glass, sealing andprotecting the design forever. Sadly, Peggy Karr glass closed its doors forgood in 2016. Therefore, all first quality pieces immediately became morevaluable as they would not be produced any longer.My shipping price includesmy actual postage cost as well as packing/handling cost (bubble wrap, boxes, tape, envelopes, etc.) with transportation to post office and my time.
