Murrine and cane 'Foglio' glass baluster vase
engraved 'DAVID PATCHEN' on the base
hand-blown glass

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.
