Purple Spiral Bowl

This hand-blown glass bowl has a fascinating creation story. Artist John Gibbons first rolls a clear bubble of molten glass through a layer of small cobalt glass chunks and white powdered glass, before blowing the bubble into an aluminum optic mold with 12 triangular ribs inside; the ribbed bubble is heated and twisted to create the bowl's mesmerizing spiral pattern. Gibbons then finishes blowing and shaping the bowl, letting it cool overnight. The result is a vessel with a gorgeous, lustrous surface, perfect for display or for serving your guests in style.
