Description:

The Baby Patricia’s Pride Lily is a highly showy variety of lily. This type of lily has smoothly curved glass petals which allow the sunlight to glint beautifully amongst the green vegetation in your gardens. The bright white of the petals is a delightful contrast to the surrounding foliage, and the splash of purple adds great excitement.

Measuring approximately 8″ in diameter and 3″ in depth, the gorgeous fused glass replica is an everlasting bloom to enjoy all summer. In other words, once your lilies have bloomed out, you’ll still have plenty of beautiful colour in your gardens!

The Baby Patricia’s Pride Lily looks gorgeous when mounted on the copper stake to secure into the soil in your garden. Consequently, your fused glass garden art lily blends right in with the live blooms. Alternatively, you can mount the flower as wall decor either on a fence, or even in your home on the wall. The lily is a perfect gift for the gardener who has everything.

Pair this lily with the larger version; the full size Patricia’s Pride Lily.

How it’s Made:

We create the Baby Patricia’s Pride Lily using many steps. First, we cut the petals from sheet glass, grinding each piece to the right size and shape. Next, we place the petals in the kiln and fuse to the proper thickness. Once the petals cool, we add coloured glass powders and send the glass back into the kiln. After an appropriate colour density is achieved, the petals are slumped into the curved lily shape.

Each time we fire the glass, we process it through an annealing cycle. This adds strength to the glass by releasing internal stresses within the glass. In other words, your glass lily is more durable than regular glass and can be enjoyed for many years.

Once the glass is slumped and cooled, we drill the central hole in the lily. This lets us pass a bolt through the glass to secure to the copper garden stake, or to be mounted to the wall.

Stamens for the Baby Patricia’s Pride Lily are soldered, and we add a patina to darken the tips. Finally, we clean the stamens and attach them to the lily with either a bolt for copper garden stakes, or a wood screw for wall mounting.

*Note: To protect your lily from hail and other terrifying weather, bring your lily indoors during severe thunderstorm warnings. Store glass garden art safely indoors for the winter.
