Art Deco Glass Sculpture ‘Phoebe’ by Laura Hart

‘Phoebe’ is an Art Deco glass sculpture decanter like no other.

Hand blown by master glassmaker Elliot Walker and finished off to perfection by a cast glass rose bouquet by Laura Hart.

Considered one of, if not the best glass flower makers in the world, Laura Hart has created this luxurious decanter ensemble for your viewing or drinking pleasure.

‘Phoebe’ is one of The Divas Collection. This exclusive collection of decanters is complete with rose ‘bonnets’ that can incorporate a dozen or more blooms.

Included in this glorious symphony of glass is a ‘hat stand’. A cradle made of more cast glass roses where you can rest the bonnet safely when using the decanter. This stunning addition to the set can also be used as a sconce candle holder.

Each unique Art Deco glass sculpture is personally signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Art Deco Glass Sculpture – Artist

Laura Hart Glass Artist started experimenting with oils and canvas at the tender age of twelve. In her teenage years, she trod the boards. Later, in her 20’s and 30’s she was involved in video production and 3D animation.  In her 40’s she dabbled in heritage building renovation. She only became united with the glorious world of glass art by the time she reached her 50s. Laura, however, always had a love for glass, watching the blowers at work in Stourbridge as a child.

Her career turned to glass when she was asked to work on a glass and steel piece. This is when her obsession and passion with glass really began. Laura attended courses to learn the basics of casting and fusing, buying a kiln and setting up shop in the garage of her home. Laura loves the myriad of diversity that is always present when working with glass.

Laura’s work centres on the conservation of endangered species, flora and fauna. She recreates her specimens using glass fusion and pate de verre casting as well as kiln and flame work. Sterling silver is found in many of her pieces, giving anatomical detail. Influenced by Georgia O’Keefe, Laura has also been a lifelong collector of Art Nouveau and Deco works. Many of her works such as this decorative glass platter are inspired by the Art Nouveau period, their geometry and precision taking on a high level of optical precision.
