A striking piece of contemporary American studio glass, this 2003 hand-blown art glass vase was created by artist Michael Hermann at the renowned Art of Fire Studio in Maryland.
The vase features a heavy, sculptural form showcasing an exceptional command of color casing. The exterior is wrapped in a high-gloss, opaque obsidian black that is dramatically interrupted by an asymmetric, translucent lavender-pink diagonal slash. When caught by the light, the window reveals a deep, glowing amethyst purple interior, creating a captivating contrast between the solid, minimalist geometry and the fluid transparency of the glass.
With its organic, flattened "pillow" silhouette and sophisticated color blocking, this substantial vessel serves as a powerful standalone statement piece for modern, postmodern, or transitional interiors.
