Higgins Glass Charger Plate With Gold
Okay, so this piece has some serious significance. This is a large glass charger by Higgins Glass but the story goes… Higgins picked up Edris Eckhart from Cleveland for an art show. After the show she went to their studio and taught them her method of placing gold leaf in glass ✨ (In the 1950s Eckhardt, after thousands of failed attempts, rediscovered a process that had eluded her fellow artists for 2,000 years: the Egyptian art of fusing gold leaf between sheets of glass to produce gold glass—which resulted in some of her most powerful work). Higgins then made this charger and presented it to Edris as a gift. Who knows how true this story is but it’s one hell of a story!
