This bowl had been sitting in my collection for years — bold, pink and beautifully patterned with pressed swirls. It had that frosted satin finish you often see in mid-century moulded glassware, probably from the 1950s–70s.
I finally decided to try it in the flame. The colour was so vibrant I couldn’t resist — but as soon as it hit the heat, the pink disappeared completely, burned off in seconds.
It’s always a risk with vintage glass like this — often the colour is a surface stain or flashed coating rather than true coloured glass. And while it didn’t melt the way I’d hoped, it was still worth a shot. 💗
There’s beauty in trying, even when the outcome isn’t quite what you imagined. Three weeks of experiments and my necklace is really starting to look interesting now!
