Ivory Turquoise Feather Swirl Oval Bowl - Large
Ivory Turquoise Feather Swirl Oval Bowl - Small |
| Italian glass artisans on the island of Murano form these
one-of-a-kind art glass items utilizing a centrifuge process that spins
molten glass in large copper bowls of various sizes. The shapes are
formed after the glass stops spinning and the artisans begin to shape,
mold, cut, and reheat the glass into the shapes you see here. |
Decorative bowl is hand-formed of art glass in hues of turquoise and
gold. Vertical ribbing ascends each vase as it widens. When the glass is
still molten hot, the mouths are folded inward forming an irregular,
double-sided rim. Each is unique |

Frosted Vases with Amber Casing |
| This manufacturer in Murano invented a centrifuge machine and
technique that spins molten glass into discs that are then manipulated
by hand into various organic shapes. During the process varying colors
and finishes are applied to the glass. Still warm pieces are put through
an annealing process in a tunnel oven to cool them slowly so they do not
explode. The annealing process can take anywhere from hours to many
days, depending on the thickness of the glass. Annealing is a process of
slowly cooling glass to relieve internal stresses after it was formed. |
Faux Bois, French meaning for false wood. The finish surface is
achieved by using decals with sand texture embedded into the decals. The
decals are fired onto the glass, giving each a unique texture and light
brown wash to the surface of the glass. |
Cased glass vases made in amber colored interiors with pale gray
exteriors. Both the interior and exterior are originally shiny glass,
until our artisans apply a chemical etching to the exterior surface to
help create a soft texture giving contrast to the shiny interior. The
final design has been hand "pulled" while still molten into the shapes
you see here, and also "pinched" on the front edge to add special
emphasis to the bulging shape where the tip originates. |

John-Richard Collection Aqua Ribbons of Glass Sculpture |
AERIN Abel Large Vase |
Global Views Silent Sculpture |
| Aqua and clear glass ribbons of glass stands on a black granite base.
Hand-blown glass |
This mouth-blown glass vase was originally inspired by ornamental glass
beakers made in Germany in the 16th century. The intended randomness in
the creation of the pattern means no two pieces are alike. This piece looks
beautiful alone or with long-stem flowers. |
Silent Sculpture is handcrafted in a studio outside Lisbon, Portugal,
of cast clear glass and the base is exquisite white marble. Definitely a
conversational piece of art which is thought provoking and serene. 16.3"W
x 2.8"D x 11.1"T. Made in Portugal. |

Orrefors Kosta Boda Poppy Large Vase |
Orrefors Kosta Boda Large Mirage Vase |
| The vases of Göran Wärff's Mirage collection come in two different
sizes. The colors harmonize subtly with the soft form of the vase and
suggest an unexpected meeting between glass and color. The play of light
within the glass adds an extra dimension to the mirage set in our
imagination. |
Kjell has a penchant for designing challenging models and has a
great respect for the glassblowers of Småland. Colorful, playful and
filled with bubbles. My inspiration comes from a poppy that just is
opening... The colors symbolize the different color schemes of daylight,
rain, frost and sun. |
Vase designed by Goran Warff. Glass. The play of light within the
