Fenton Art Glass 2010 Cameo Gallery"Fabulous Flamingos" Vase in Blue Burmese
Design by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp.
This vase is limited to 50 pieces. Fabulous Flamingos is the name for this vase and you can surely see why! Three graceful long-legged birds appear on this magnificent 11-3/4" vase designed by cameo artists Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp. The top feartures a stylized border.
Cameo carving is a painstaking process. After the glass has been annealed, a special mask is taped to the surface of the glass. Using an advanced "vignetting" technique, each piece is carefully sandcarved, by hand, using aluminum oxide crystals under pressure to take away some of the surface. Great individual skill and experience are needed to control this operation, as many distinct stages of successive cameo carving are required to create the remarkable depth and the intricate details.
