Small stone bowl – amber
Blown in clear glass, a bulbous clear vessel contains solid, milky and amber glass pieces. Cut and textured on a lathe when cold, the pieces are encapsulated in the bowl by inserting them through the base before sealing it with a glass disc. This piece is inspired by glass ‘stones' found on beaches in Northern England. Factories dumped old crucibles at sea and over several hundred years, the glass was worn smooth and then washed up onto the shore like glass pebbles.
