The form is exceptional: a floating bowl balanced above a tall, tapered stem, connected by hot-worked organic scrolls shaped by hand while molten. Each pulled element adds movement and visual rhythm, giving the piece a distinctly sculptural, almost botanical presence.

Executed in thick, heavy clear glass, the vessel catches and refracts light with icy brilliance, highlighting every curve and contour. The silhouette feels both classical and modern — an art object that reads equally well in minimalist, contemporary, Scandinavian, coastal, or refined transitional interiors.

Pedestal forms of this caliber in transparent studio glass are scarce. This example stands apart from decorative modern glassware, offering instead an architectural statement piece with gallery-level impact. A rare and luxurious addition to any collection. See less
