Time Spent

The surface of this classically formed vessel of blown glass was engraved with a diamond point, with the idea of reproducing the shadow effect of Limerick lace when lain on a table. The piece pays homage to the skilled young lace-makers who worked between the ages of 11 and 16 to produce intricate, often functional, objects of great beauty.
