Do you remember the retro Nestlé lolly ‘fab’ from your childhood? It can still be bought today! This piece evokes childhood memories of sunny days by the sea having that special treat. This lolly was hand cut from selected sheets of glass which were layered and fused together in the kiln, with the desired shape being supported by fibre paper. The sprinkles, made from cutting coloured glass stringers, were added in a subsequent firing at a lower temperature to retain their texture. The fabric lips were cut, machine and hand sewn and stuffed to support the lolly on its fused glass platter. It will hopefully make your mouth water at the prospect of indulging in this cooling delight.

£295 (As exhibited.)
