The broad tulip-form bowls glow with shifting shades of amber, orange, peach, rose and gold, changing noticeably with the light. Below, slender vertically ribbed green stems terminate in broad circular feet, with gathered glass details at both the bowl and base adding texture and emphasizing their handmade construction.

At approximately 10 inches tall with bowls nearly 4 inches across, these have an unusually elongated, sculptural silhouette. The combination of luminous iridescence, contrasting green glass and exaggerated proportions makes them equally compelling as functional stemware or displayed as a pair of studio glass objects.

Each is individually handmade, with subtle variations in form consistent with handblown glass.
