“Verdant Vine” Handblown Art Glass Chalice Sculpture

The “Verdant Vine” is a masterful expression of organic artistry in glass — a vessel that seems to have grown naturally from light and air. Rising from a rounded base in swirling gradients of green and blue, the stem winds upward in a sinuous motion, adorned with three delicate glass leaves that curl gracefully around its form.

At its peak blooms a ruffled, open chalice — a petal-shaped bowl edged in dark contouring, reminiscent of a flower catching sunlight after morning rain. The glass transitions fluidly from moss-green to azure, its iridescent sheen shifting subtly with the angle of light.

This piece captures the spirit of mid-century studio craftsmanship, when artisans explored the harmony between nature’s asymmetry and the fluid possibilities of molten glass. A poetic balance of color, motion, and transparency, “Verdant Vine” celebrates the union of artistry and organic life.
