Ancient Rings 62 is a meticulously crafted kiln-formed glass vessel that embodies continuity and movement. Constructed from thousands of precisely cut pieces of sheet glass, its delicate framework of ivory rings serves as a canvas for a flowing composition of soft green and amber tones. These rhythmic waves of color enhance the vessel’s sense of organic motion within its structured form.
Amber windows punctuate the design, creating luminous portals that invite light to dance across its surface, deepening the interplay between translucency and opacity. This subtle contrast adds dimensionality, drawing the viewer into a contemplation of structure and fluidity, history and transformation.

Rooted in Schellker’s ongoing Ancient Rings series, this piece reflects his dedication to balancing precision with organic evolution—an exploration of harmony within the disciplined artistry of kiln-formed glass.
