This platter is a new form for Janusz Pozniak, based on experimental pieces he first produced at a glass furnace in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017 and developed in conversation with Josh Wojick, Greenfield Village master glassblower. The colorations in the platter are from bits of murrini glass sandwiched together and fused into shape.
