Part of Jim Scheller’s Ancient Rings series, Ancient Rings 60 is a masterfully constructed kiln-formed glass vessel that captures the essence of movement and organic rhythm. Crafted from thousands of precisely cut pieces of sheet glass, its delicate canvas of interlocking ivory rings serves as the foundation for flowing patterns of golden yellow and soft green tones.

Marigold-yellow fronds rise in delicate, rhythmic formations, reminiscent of sunlit grasses or botanical growth, weaving through the structure with an airy, natural elegance. Subtle green windows punctuate the form, allowing light to filter through and cast dynamic shadows. The interplay between opacity and transparency enhances the vessel’s dimensionality, inviting contemplation of the balance between structure and natural evolution.

Through Ancient Rings 60, Scheller continues his exploration of form, light, and materiality—transforming glass into a vessel that feels both timeless and ever-changing.
