Part of Jim Scheller’s Ancient Rings series, Ancient Rings 58 is a striking kiln-formed glass vessel that explores the interplay of structure, light, and organic movement. Constructed from thousands of meticulously cut pieces of sheet glass, its canvas of ivory rings provides a rhythmic foundation for the bold interplay of color and form.

Vibrant green fronds rise in symmetrical formations, reminiscent of plant stems or ancient motifs, reaching toward the rim with a sense of growth and energy. These geometric patterns contrast with a glowing golden-yellow focal element that evokes the warmth and life-giving power of the sun. Light filters through its translucent layers, casting luminous reflections that shift with the viewer’s perspective.

Through Ancient Rings 58, Scheller continues his artistic exploration of precision and organic evolution, transforming glass into a vessel that bridges history, nature, and contemporary design.
