Fused glass Matzah Plate with multi colored border The technique of fusing glass goes back to Biblical times. Layers of glass are cut and then arranged in a kiln to be fired to a temperature of 1550 degrees, at which point they meld and become one piece of glass. A second firing is required to form the piece into a bowl or platter. Slumping into a mold may create variations of "crackling" in the precious metal letters.
