One hand-blown, matte-finish glass lemon. These lemons look incredibly real, but since they are solid glass, they are much heavier. Hand-crafted by Cedar Creek Gallery studio artist Lisa Oakley in her on-site studio. Each lemon measures approximately 2.5" in diameter x 3.25" tall, but just like real life, every lemon is a bit different! Group several in a bowl for a stunning look!
The matte surface on this glass piece has been achieved through sandblasting. Once sandblasted, a fine coat of oil is applied. Washing the piece may remove that coat of oil. If so, simply apply mineral oil to a soft cloth and rub the glass. Once the surface has a light coating of oil, use a clean, lint-free cloth to rub away any excess oil. As with all hand crafted items, slight variations in size, design, and color should be expected.
