One dramatic glass: a bell of emerald green blown glass carried on a clear stem twisted like a rope of water, standing on a clear hand-finished foot. The pontil mark is still visible at the bowl's heart — the signature of a glass actually blown by hand, one at a time. At a full twelve inches it is far too grand for the table's everyday ranks; use it as a centerpiece compote, a statement vase, or the goblet nobody at the table will forget.
Interesting note: twisted stems descend from the famous air-twist drinking glasses of 1740s England, where glassmakers trapped spirals inside the stem itself — part decoration, part showing off. The twist has never really left the glassblower's bench since.
Height 12 inches; bowl diameter 6 inches. Unmarked.
Excellent condition. Please see all photos — they are part of the description. Packed with great care and shipped promptly.
