Pale Ruby Hydrangea

£10,000.00

The Pale Ruby Hydrangea bowl showcases intricate glassblowing and engraving techniques. Hydrangea blossoms are engraved on the exterior of a thick-walled bowl, with an illusion of suspended inner bowls created by air bubbles. A thin ruby overlay on clear lead crystal is selectively cut away, revealing a textured clear background. The top is polished to near invisibility, enhancing the illusion. Delicate engraving on the ruby layer produces pale pink hydrangea details, reflecting the artist's botanical inspiration. This piece exemplifies the fusion of technical mastery and natural beauty, creating a captivating interplay of form, colour, and light.
