Mohican Fire Mountain Tear drop - 1959
An Award-Winning Tribute to Nature's Fury
Monarch Custom Glass presents the Fire Mountain Tear Drops, a breathtaking glass art piece that captures the raw power and haunting beauty of wildfire. This 1959 design has earned its place as an award-winning masterpiece, blending technical innovation with profound emotional resonance.
Technical Brilliance:
-
Crafted using yellow opaque glass powder layered with ruby transparent frit
-
Molten colors threaded over opaque base for dimensional depth
-
Pressed into a diamond-patterned optic mold creating mesmerizing light refraction
-
Clear casing glass multiplies the fiery effects through optical illusion
A Story in Glass:
Born from our 2002 relocation to Southern Oregon during the catastrophic Biscuit Wildfire, this piece immortalizes nature's destructive power. As lightning-sparked fires merged into an unstoppable force - consuming 500,000 acres of the Siskiyou National Forest - we channeled our experience into this dramatic representation.
The Fire Mountain Tear Drops award commemorates:
-
The terrifying beauty of uncontrolled wildfire
-
The resilience of communities facing natural disaster
-
Monarch's innovative glass techniques developed during crisis
Display Considerations:
-
Place near light sources to maximize the refractive "flame" effects
-
Ideal for collectors of nature-inspired glass art
-
Makes a profound statement piece for wildfire survivors/first responders
