Design & Technique
• Series: Banded / Lagoon Series
• Technique: Muranese Sommerso (cased glass). This bowl features thick, heavy lead-free crystal with undulating bands of deep teal, lime green, and smoky aqua.
• Aesthetic: A perfect fusion of Venetian technical complexity and the minimalist restraint of Scandinavian design.
• Scale: This is a substantial "Centerpiece" bowl, measuring 11” x 11” x 3.5”, much larger and more significant than the common 6-8 inch studio vessels.

Condition & Authentication
• Signature: Hand-etched "Caleb 2000" on the base, signifying it as a "solo era" work before his partnership with Carmen Salazar.
• Integrity: Excellent vintage condition. The glass is clear and glossy with no chips, cracks, or surface scratching on the interior.
• Natural Characteristics: As is characteristic of hand-formed studio glass of this scale, the piece contains a few tiny "seeds" (captured air bubbles) which serve as a hallmark of the manual blowing process and the heavy glass gather.

This piece represents a significant moment in contemporary American glass art, marking the first full year of one of Southern California's most successful glass studios. See less
