Pelagos Vase, Large

The Pelagos Vase commands its shelf or surface with the quiet authority of a sculptural work, its hand-blown art glass body rising twenty-two inches in a form that speaks equally to the oceanic and the architectural. Nickel-finished aluminum grounds the composition, lending a cool metallic presence that anchors the organic volatility of the glass above. At once vessel and objet d'art, the Pelagos belongs to that rare category of decorative work that renders a room more considered simply by existing within it.
