616 Red-brown and deals slate blue vase

Substantial and eye-catching expression of the incalmo technique, in which a handblown cup of one color of glass is mated with first one, and then another cup of a different color. In this case, successive cups of steel blue, clear, and "aurora" (red-brown) glass are layered horizontally--and then the whole assembly is placed on another pipe at right angles to the original horizontal plane--and then TWISTED subtly--and then cased in another layer of clear. The result is nothing short of stunning, with zones deals of both the original colors and the colors that arise from superimposition.

Signed and dated by the artist.
