A radiant interplay of color, structure, and light, Ancient Rings 48 is a kiln-formed glass vessel that captures the essence of precision and harmony. Thousands of meticulously cut sheet glass pieces compose a rhythmic framework, with a canvas of ivory rings supporting a series of translucent ovals. These softly glowing inlays range from cool blues and greens to warm ambers and pinks, their hues shifting subtly as light moves through the vessel.

Below each oval, a delicate vertical structure extends downward, reinforcing the vessel’s elegant symmetry. This repetition of form enhances the sense of balance, while the open spaces allow light to filter through, casting intricate reflections and shadows. The color arrangement is carefully calibrated, creating a luminous gradient effect that accentuates the vessel’s depth and dimensionality.

The design of Ancient Rings 48 is both structured and dynamic, inviting the viewer to engage with its interplay of transparency, geometry, and hue. This piece exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and conceptual depth of the Ancient Rings series, where the interaction of form, light, and space transforms glass into a poetic expression of order and movement.
