Outlet white native vessel, etched hand blown glass vase

The Native Vessel series was inspired by my first adventure in the American Southwest, traveling through New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah, I was awed and inspired outlet by the colors, textures, and patterns that filled the landscape.

“The desert holds a perfect and natural balance between lifelessness and
living vibrancy” -Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

The vase is blown glass that incorporates color glass chips and powders in hues of white, gray and black glass with a blue lip accent and a white interior, which highlights the exterior pattern and gives the interior a nice translucently. After the glass is blown it is then sandblasted to give the piece a matte finish, the etched surface allows the viewer to a see the subtle details on the surface of the piece.

The vase is approx. 4" tall x 5" wide.

NOTE: The vase in the photograph is a sample, each piece is made to order, so each one is unique and colors and patterns will vary slightly.
