Has anyone used this mold from Blue Fire Molds? I was just wondering what glass would look like when slumped on it. Its hard to tell from the photo.

Thank you,

It'll look like a small squarish ugly candy dish with a wavy rim.

I would call and ask what the measurements are for the bottom square. If it is not very big, you will have problems getting the glass to slump fully into the depression, and ultimately, the bowl will not sit flatly. If you have a lap grinder to finish off the bottom, it is not as big of a deal (though it is extra work), but if you don't, you may find that you don't get suitable pieces out of the mold.
