Fluted Bottle Slumping Mold

The Fluted Bottle Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise shapes a glass bottle into a fluted dish in a single kiln firing. The finished dish measures 13 inches long by 5.25 inches wide, and the ceramic form stands 2 inches tall. It is a practical way to repurpose used wine bottles or other glass bottles into trays, serving dishes, or display pieces.

Like all ceramic kiln forms from Creative Paradise, this mold is COE agnostic and works with standard glass bottles as well as fusible glass. A whole bottle is placed over the form and the kiln is fired so the glass softens and drapes around the fluted contour by gravity. The mold is reusable across many firings when prepped and cared for properly.

What does the Fluted Bottle Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a glass bottle into a fluted dish about 13 inches long and 5.25 inches wide. The result works well as a serving tray, decorative dish, or display piece.

What glass can I use with this mold?
Standard glass bottles, including wine bottles, are the primary choice for this form. Fusible glass also works, since the mold is COE agnostic and accepts COE96, COE90, or other fusible glass. Match your firing schedule and anneal temperature to the glass you are using.

How do I load the bottle onto the mold?
Place a whole glass bottle centered over the prepared form. As the kiln heats, the glass softens and drapes over the fluted shape by gravity. No cutting or pre-processing of the bottle is required.

How do I prep the mold before slumping?
Coat the mold surface with a kiln-safe boron nitride spray or kiln wash and let it dry completely before placing the bottle. Re-coat as needed between firings to prevent the glass from sticking.

Working Notes

These are guidelines, not guarantees. Every kiln fires a little differently, so test a small run first when the result matters and follow a slumping schedule suited to your glass and kiln.

• Prime the mold surface with a boron nitride mold primer such as ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Primer, or a kiln wash such as Hotline Primo Primer, and let it dry completely before placing the bottle so the glass does not stick.
• Place a whole glass bottle centered over the prepared form. Standard wine bottles are the most common choice. The bottle softens and drapes into the fluted contour during firing.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slumping schedule matched to your glass, and adjust the anneal soak temperature for the glass type you are using.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the slumped dish. Re-coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.
• The Slide Hi Temp brand separator is not recommended with these molds.

Creative Paradise Suggested Firing Schedule

This is a suggested COE96 starting schedule, not a guarantee. Every kiln fires differently. Test a small run and adjust the schedule for your glass and kiln.

Slump (COE96):

*Segment 4 is the anneal soak at 950 F for standard glass bottles and COE96. If using COE90, adjust this temperature to 900 F.
