This work exemplifies Constantin’s mastery of color layering and light interplay, hallmarks of the 1980s American Studio Glass movement.

The bowl features a vivid cobalt-blue body with optic ribbing, giving the glass a rippled, kinetic surface that shifts in tone as it catches light. Its fuchsia-pink lip wrap provides a sophisticated chromatic contrast, softening the intensity of the blue and drawing attention to the elegant curvature of the form. The solid footed base anchors the vessel, revealing subtle tonal marbling and the engraved signature “Young Constantin” alongside a sequential number likely denoting production or completion.

Measuring 10″ in diameter × 4.25″ high, the bowl demonstrates superb balance, symmetry, and craftsmanship, the type of precision achieved only in high-temperature free-blown work. Pieces like this reflect Constantin’s commitment to sculptural glassmaking as an art form rather than a decorative craft, bridging functional design and contemporary studio art.
