Hand-blown in 1998, this sculptural vessel showcases Karg’s mastery of dichroic glass—a complex technique that creates a mesmerizing interplay of shifting colors and metallic iridescence depending on the light source and angle of view.

The vase features a robust, clear glass body that encapsulates a dense, swirling interior of vibrant hues. Karg’s signature style is evident in the organic, asymmetrical ruffling and the heavy, light-refracting base that gives the piece an architectural presence.

Artist Profile Rollin Karg is a celebrated glassblower based in Kansas, known for bringing an industrial engineer’s precision to the fluid, ancient art of glass blowing. His works are held in numerous private and corporate collections and are prized for their "one-of-a-kind" nature, as no two dichroic patterns are ever identical.
