This stunning hand-blown glass shell sculpture by Steven Lundberg captures the beauty of the ocean with museum-quality craftsmanship. With substantial weight and smooth contours, it begs to be held, while its iridescent swirls of blue, gold, and silver mimic the natural shimmer of real seashells, shifting hues as light moves across its surface. In person, it’s even more breathtaking—photos can’t fully capture its mesmerizing depth and glow.
The two-piece design includes a clear textured glass base, sculpted to resemble ocean rock or coral, with the shell resting securely on top. Inside, a detailed marine scene is encased in glass, showcasing a blue vibrant reef fish, lush green plants, red-orange coral, and delicate floral elements, all crafted with intricate millefiori and lampwork techniques.
Perfect as a statement display, a sophisticated paperweight, or the centerpiece of an executive’s desk, this rare and collectible Lundberg sculpture blends fine art with functional elegance.
