Blue Elongated Sphere

Blown vessel and glass stopper with attached bronze branch. Part of the artist's Fissure series of vessels inspired by industrial landscapes. Intense, internal colors are partially exposed by scoring the more muted surface color while the glass is molten. After the vessel has cooled, a stopper is created out of a metallic oxide glass and a custom cast bronze branch is attached. Bronze is hot wax sealed. Every piece is unique; pattern and size will vary slightly.
