Made from a stunning triangular, open-air graphite mould, this piece takes on the cratered impression of the moon’s surface, contrasted against the open corners of the piece, which blow out smoothly. The juxtaposition of rough and smooth make this a gorgeously-designed vase, idiosyncratic and unique. In Hay, our Crystal cased Topaz, the piece takes on color variably depending on the thickness of the glass, creating beautiful optics and a natural fade.
Every Festival of Glass, we make a Historic Preservation piece that celebrates and reproduces a stunning design from 20th century glass history. Don Shepherd, our Designer from 1974-1988, had a thriving and innovative studio glass practice under the name Glass America, and designed several eye-catching pieces that blend open moulds for free form shaping juxtaposed against richly-textured graphite plates. This vase - which we're dubbing his 'Moonscape' Vase - takes on craters and ridges and texture in the most beautiful way. A perfect piece for a Year of New Space Age Design.
