​Utilizing a masterful cased glass technique, the exterior features a brilliant, saturated "Flame" gradient transitioning from deep cerise red to glowing fiery orange, completely fused over a clean, opaque white interior layer. The heavy, sculptural body transitions into an organic, hand-pulled handkerchief rim.
​A distinct hallmark of this artisanal piece is its heavy, molded hexagonal base, finished with a professional ground and polished bottom ring for perfect stability. Near the rim, a beautiful, intentional translucent stretch point reveals where the artisan pulled the glass, allowing light to illuminate the layered design.
​A beautiful pop of color perfect for a Hollywood Regency mantle, an MCM credenza, or a brightly lit Coastal Regency sunroom. See less
