Hand-Blown Green Trail Tear Vase: Earth Item # 33.342.0.G This stunning handblown sculptoral vase is something to behold. While we've tried, the precise textures and colors of this piece are difficult to capture in a photograph. This piece is laid with 22 karat gold or fine leaf silver, which creates a subtle and unusual designs ("trails") within the glass. The creative process begins with a piece of molten glass attached to a long metal blowpipe, which is then blown into a bubble. Layers of molten glass are then added to shape each piece into its final shape, with colored glass applied for texture and designs, making each piece one-of-a-kind. Vases of this quality usually sell for three times the amount below. Each piece has been signed and dated by the artist.
