Description
Fenton Art Glass 2010 Cameo Gallery"Iris and Butterfly" Ruby Glass cased with Milk Glass Vase
Design by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp.
This magnificent 9" cameo carved vase is handcrafted in Ruby glass cased with Milk Glass. The elegant Iris and butterfly design is by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp. Limited to 125 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.
