This upcycled handblown and hand-engraved ruby and pink vase was created used a chunk of patterned ruby and pink glass left over from making murrine to provide the swirling color on this piece. If not used in this way, this chunk of glass would have been discarded.
In addition to being handblown, this vases is hand-engraved on one side using a diamond wheel on an engraving lathe. This painstaking process creates a pattern of grooves inspired by the patterns of water flowing over a waterfall. This vases is one-of-a-kind and has a unique shape and pattern. Because this is hand-blown, there are small bubbles and tool marks present in the piece. These are artifacts of the process and testify tot he handmade nature of this product. This vase is a piece of art and is signed and dated by the artist. This vase was selected for the spring 2023 Lehigh Art Alliance juried "Scratching the Surface" show. And it it a practical object as well, suitable for use every day. Hand washing recommended.
