Notes
From Patchen's Foglio series, this flattened vessel was created through the difficult technique called murrini, which involves making highly patterned glass 'tiles', carefully composing hundreds of them into a mosaic, then fusing them together to construct a glass bubble, all before blowing the final shape.
His work is highly collectable and a fine example of contemporary American studio glass.
