Seagrass Vase 20863

The Seagrass range reflects my love of the colours within one of my favourite places. Shallow water -where the colours jump and sparkle. Snorkelling after a storm, in a shallow inlet is one of life's great pleasures! 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.

We make the pieces with the colours applied hot, using canes we have pulled and different size frits in many colours. The colours, in lay-mans terms can be either harder or softer than the clear, base, glass. This extra dimension means the colours pull the pieces out of symmetry, which adds to the unique look of 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 150mm, diameter 115mm.
