Stripes of creamy vanilla and swaths of delicate mint radiate from the scrumptious center of this shallow kiln-formed glass bowl. Patterned murrine nestle beside strips of vanilla floating in a field of clear glass that lets light shine through the vessel.
Murrine are glass cylinders, which are sections individually cut from hand-pulled glass cane, which the artist creates 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.
Fused, cold worked and slumped.
