Glass & Crystal
Midnight Constellation
Studio Glass, European tradition
- DESCRIPTION
- The glassblower's technique of rolling a hot gather across a marver scattered with chips of coloured glass creates the dense, painterly surface seen here. Deep navy and indigo chips are embedded into the clear body, distributing themselves with the controlled randomness of a constellation chart. A wide-shouldered, narrow-footed body with a dramatically asymmetric pulled lip.
