Ardor Vase, Small

The Ardor Vase in its small scale carries the quiet authority of a considered object — hand blown and hand carved art glass that bears every mark of the maker's breath and touch. At eight inches, its proportion is intimate without being incidental, commanding a surface with the same assurance as a much larger piece. The interplay of blown form and carved surface creates a tension between air and solidity, light and material, that rewards prolonged attention.
