Description
Fenton Art Glass 2010 Cameo Gallery"Beyond the Plantation" Vase in Milk Glass cased with Emerald Green
Design by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp.
This exquisite 12" Vase is handcrafted in Emerald Green with Milk glass overlay, the vase was designed by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp. Large palms seem to gently wave in the breeze as sea birds fly over an African plantation and a giraffe is waiting in the distance...thus the name Beyond the Plantation. Limited to 35 pieces.
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 crystal 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.
