Large Gold Iris Vase
Description
Each time you see one of these museum quality pieces, it is hard to comprehend how this piece of art was created. Remember that the flora is not painted on the outside of the glass, but was created inside within different layers of molten glass with bandpulled glass rods and canes called murrini. When you look closely, you can see the depths of this piece and all the workmanship on each plane. When you pick it up, it is easier to understand that this is not an ordinary vase; you will further comprehend the layering process with the weight of this piece at over 20 lbs.
