Price: £44.94 ($88.09) Including VAT at 17.5%
Weather Glass, hand-blown glass file, mounted with brass fitments, hand finished and lacquered on brown and cream backboard with some interpretations given and mounted in wooden frame (No guarantee that this works!) but a fun item worth experimenting with, where you hang will make a difference to crystal formations.
We have developed the mixture over many years from an original recipe by Negretti and Zambra. No one really understands why the crystalls sometimes change, perhaps electrical tension , certainly temperature makes a difference. Originally hung outside these examples are for indoor use, near a window, on an outside wall or in an entrance hall etc.
