Seagrass Heavy Bowl Blue

The Seagrass range reflects my love of the colours within my favourite area. I could spend most of my life in the forgotten area between real land and real sea. I love the colours and the movement. There is always something to see and watch and reflect on.

Initially designed in response to a brief for an exhibition at Gallery Tresco in the Scilly Isles, this range has developed and grown.

This is a "heavy" bowl. A particularly difficult concept to sell on-line! I have always loved glass with a bit of heft, never been one for fine cut crystal. I particularly like really heavy thick glass bowls. Unfortunately there is a school of thought that presumes thin equals better and finer, I disagree with all respect. I love the optical qualities of thick glass, the weight and the maybe paradox! All my glass tends to be robust, but the heavy bowls are meant to be just that -  heavy. This one weighs nearly 2.5 kg.  A serious bit of kit.

We make the pieces with the colours applied hot, using canes we have pulled and different size frits in many colours, this always gives a completely unique look to every piece. When they come out of the annealer and are cool they are hand painted with a resist and then etched to give the soft matt and shiny surface qualities.

Height 165mm, diameter 190mm.
