They are exquisite sculptures of imaginative depth and ever-changing effects of light, over realistic glass-blown flower buds, drawing on a rich heritage dating back to the late 13th century. The emerging art during the mid-20th-century Studio Glass Movement in the 1960s and 1970s captured the sculptural style revival, using the traditional Venetian furnace techniques—such as free-blown pulling and Sommerso layering— in transforming the most natural floral motifs, like the seafoam aqua Trumpet Lily, the plum Morning Glory, and the cobalt Calla Lily, as modern art. Each long-stemmed bloom from this set captures an elegance of fluid movement in the style of the Mid-Century Modern era, of ruffled crowns and speckled iridescence catching the light. Balanced atop slender, translucent amber stems, the trio bridges centuries-old Venetian craftsmanship, refined in the 20th century, into decorative design and a timeless statement for any curated vessel or display.
