Land and sea meet and mingle, bright springy greens swirling with oceanic blue in this large art glass bowl. Thin discs of paler blue float above, casting a shadow onto the sea floor. Like a drift of anemones, a gathering of cylinders of hand-pulled cane divides the watery quadrants.

Can be made in any size from 12" diameter to 18" diameter. Inquire about a commission for a custom size.
The glass cylinders in this bowl are sections individually cut from hand-pulled glass cane, which I create by heating glass to 1500 degrees and pulling it into rods while molten in a modern-day adaptation of the 16th century techniques of the Murano glassmakers.
Hundreds of them are placed by hand onto a ceramic surface, standing together in a tight formation, and heated until they soften and puddle together to form a slab.
Fused, cold worked and slumped with a gentle rise in the middle.
