Colour De Verre

Colour de Verre ceramic molds shape kiln-cast and slumped glass into botanical detail, figurative designs, and functional forms. This category gathers the brand's range carried at Art Glass Supplies, from frit casting molds for delicate florals and leaves to larger slump forms for bowls, plates, and stained glass panels.

What Colour de Verre Molds Are

Colour de Verre molds are refractory ceramic intended for repeated kiln use. The casting molds capture crisp detail when filled with powdered and fine frit, while the slumpers and panel formers shape preformed sheet glass into bowls, plates, tiles, and panels.

What's in This Category

Botanical castings span Aralia, Cabbage, Dogwood, Ginkgo, Magnolia, and Bamboo, alongside Anemone and Blossom designs. Wildlife and seaside molds include Dragonfly, Honey Bees, Butterfly, Conch, and Beach Shells. Seasonal pieces cover the Holiday Tree & Stocking, Gingerbread Man, Candy Cane and Snowman, Icicles, and Flaming Hearts, plus figurative work like Buddha Faces, Cherub, and the Big Skull. Functional forms include the Tile Maker, Geometric Beads, Glasslinks for jewelry connectors, Candle Holders in 3-inch square and 5-inch round, and Heart, Kidney, and Elliptical Box molds. For larger projects, the Oval and Round Panel Formers and the Bowl Slump Form and Plate Slumper turn fused blanks into finished bowls, plates, and standing panels.

Choosing by COE and Frit

Colour de Verre ceramic molds are COE-neutral, so the same mold accepts COE 90, COE 96, and float-compatible frit. Each design has a recommended frit weight and firing schedule from the maker; following those guides gives the cleanest detail. Prime the surface with kiln wash or a boron nitride release before each firing so cast pieces lift out cleanly.

How Makers Use Them

Frit castings from these molds become ornaments, suncatchers, jewelry components, garden stakes, drawer pulls, plate accents, and inclusions inside larger fused panels. The slump and panel forms turn cast or fused blanks into finished bowls, plates, tiles, and stained glass panels. Pair the molds with frit, powder, and stringer in your preferred COE system to start casting.
