A boldly contoured cast glass form with a modernist pulse, its silhouette echoing the playful, biomorphic abstractions associated with ceramist Ken Price.
The clear glass core is coated in dark purple and maroon frit, creating a textured, mottled surface that feels almost volcanic. This coloration gives the figure an unexpected depth and an offbeat, experimental character. The form reads as an abstracted figure, part sculptural study and part material test, its irregularities suggesting it may have been a glassmaker’s folly or an apprentice’s exploratory exercise in casting, color loading, and massing.
Pieces like this often emerged from mid-century studio environments where makers pushed the limits of glass as a sculptural medium. Its hybrid of simplicity, texture, and intuitive form places it squarely in the lineage of experimental craft that blurred distinctions between fine art and material inquiry.
Very good condition with minor surface nuances inherent to the process.
