Star of David Bottle Slumping Mold

The Star of David Bottle Slumping Mold from Creative Paradise is designed to slump a standard glass bottle flat into a Star of David patterned tray. The mold has a flat base and a raised section that cradles the bottle neck, so the finished piece has a built-in handle, making it a functional serving tray for cheeses or appetizers.

The mold measures 13.5 inches long by 6.25 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall. Like all ceramic slumping molds, it is COE agnostic and works with COE96, COE90, or standard glass bottles. Keep in mind that found or repurposed glass is not tested for compatibility. The mold is reusable across many firings when properly prepped and cared for.

What does the Star of David Bottle Slumping Mold make?
It slumps a glass bottle into a flat Star of David shaped tray. The bottle neck stays raised and becomes a handle, and the finished piece works well as a serving tray for cheeses or small bites.

What glass works with this mold?
The mold is COE agnostic and works with COE96, COE90, or standard glass bottles. Found or repurposed bottles are not tested for compatibility, so fire a test piece before committing to a larger run.

How do I prep the mold before use?
Coat the mold surface with a boron nitride primer or kiln wash and let it dry completely before placing your glass. Re coat the mold as needed between firings.

How do I slump a bottle on this mold?
Lay the bottle flat on the prepared mold with the neck aligned over the raised section. Fire using the slump schedule below, adjusted for your glass and kiln. The glass softens and gravity draws it flat into the Star of David form while the neck remains raised.

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 your glass.
• Lay the bottle flat on the mold with the neck positioned over the raised section. The bottle softens during firing and gravity draws it flat into the Star of David form.
• The mold is COE agnostic. Use a slumping schedule matched to your glass and adjust the final anneal soak for your COE.
• Found or repurposed glass bottles are not tested for compatibility. Test a first firing before investing in a larger batch.
• Let the kiln cool fully before removing the finished tray. Re coat the mold with primer as needed between firings.

Creative Paradise Suggested Firing Schedule

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

Slump Schedule:

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