£40.00

Share

Each one of these is made using individual pieces of fused glass, slumped over a genuine, vintage NORI brick.

Handmade in the Quirky Glass studio, these go through "Kelvin the kiln" a number of times to take on the true texture, wording and scratches from the original NORI brick.

NORI bricks were renowned for their hardness and durability. So much so that the foundations of Blackpool tower and the Empire State Building. Not bad for a little brickworks in Accrington, Lancashire. Rumour has it that the Name NORI came about when the letters IRON were accidentally placed in the brick moulds backwards, thus spelling NORI.

These handmade, gift boxed fused glass dishes or trays are totally unique and no two will ever be exactly the same due to the process when creating them. Each one will contain different champagne bubbles, adding to the character and appeal. The wording reads ACCRINGTON NORI B&T CO LD from The Accrington Brick And Tile Company Limited.

Approx 22 x 10cm.
