Leaded Slag Glass Inverted Domes were made by slumping
or bending parts of sheets of Slag Glass and shaping
them into very interesting designs of different
colors and texture. The bending was done by heating
the glass in a kiln until it " slumped " to form the
shape of the various molds that were used. After the
desired shape was created the piece of glass was
surrounded by copper or lead foil which then allowed
the pieces to be " leaded " together with a soldering
iron to form the Inverted Dome.
These Antique Inverted Domes are very often
associated with the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau period.
Their spare but interesting designs work well with the
parallel lines in Arts & Crafts furniture. Then some of
these Antique Lights had a more organic feel to them.

This 8 panel white slag glass inverted dome has cameo
metal relief of floral detail. The dark brown of the
metal is a great contrast to the white slag glass
which is visible through the design of the decoration
in each panel. This inverted dome is quite large,
19 and 1/2 inches in diameter. It would make a great
foyer light in a large entryway or also be the main
light in a larger room, perhaps a Dining room.
The rope effect banding along the top of the bowl

fixture particularly beautiful. There is a light cluster
with three porcelain sockets inside that will provide
plenty of illumination.
