This hand blown glass vase was created by layering several colors to create an earthy green, and then blowing the molten bubble into a bronze mold. The mold separates the color, trapping a clear bubble in the center. This creates the illusion of eyespots, similar to the tail feather of a peacock. In each eyespot there is a clear glass lens that magnifies the pattern of this perfectly symmetrical vase. Check out the video!

It measures about 3" width x 5" height.

This vase is hand signed by John Gibbons on the bottom.

The pattern in this blown glass vase is achieved by cutting small glass rods and tiles, called murrine, and arranging them in a pattern, then fusing them together in a 2100 degree kiln. A blow pipe is then rolled along the edge of the glass to form a cylinder. The bottom of the cylinder is closed, which creates a bubble, allowing the glass to then be blown and shaped into the vase. 

The Sea Collage vase measures about 18” height and 8.75” at its widest.
