A substantial hand formed glass bowl with a softly rounded body and a thick, undulating rim. The darker smoky tone of the rim creates a strong contrast against the lighter, more transparent body below, giving the piece depth and a quiet sculptural presence. The rim is intentionally uneven, rising and falling in gentle waves, which reinforces its organic, tactile quality.
Heavy in the hand and refined in silhouette, it works equally well as a centrepiece, vessel, or standalone object.

Forever changing the surroundings in my apartment. The latest change, replacing the Italian Murano glass retro penguins, for the 19th century Chinese Bronze Foo Dog Lion Figures.
Interestingly, everyone I’ve asked prefers the Murano Penguins.
The final photo is from Russell Winnell, when he photographed my apartment a couple of years ago. I wrote a story for a magazine to accompany the photos, however I’ve made so many bold changes, I can’t give those photos to print, so must get Russell back!
Elegant trio of vintage retro black glass birds. The black pair now joined by an off white interloper.
An interesting word to name the welcomed new addition, quite the opposite to be honest. But was just thinking of the Labor PM and Greens leader and for some reason “Interlopers” came into my mind!
However, not wanting to be political on my business page, I shall stop!
