Gold Vase ‘Vesta’ By Michael Trimpol

Burnished sun yellow meets a band of clustered gold in this exceptional gold vase ‘Vesta’ by Michael Trimpol. The gold band is met at the bottom by an antique white that sets the piece perfectly.

If you own a modern or period home this gold vase will work splendidly in any room you put it in. With all the elegance of a Regency period and the contours of a modern marvel means that these decadent item,s will seamlessly fit in with the antiquarian and the post-modern.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each vase is hand-blown and therefore there will be small variations in colour, size and pattern. Each one is signed by the artist.

Gold Vase Artist

Michael Trimpol is our first American artist and Boha Glass is delighted to be able to bring his gold vase and other stunning artworks here to the UK.

Michael was born and raised in Philadelphia and first learnt about glassworking when he took a stained glass course in Vermont.

He started pursuing a career in stained glass and studied at Concordia University in Montreal before becoming frustrated with the two-dimensional nature of stained glass and moved into glassblowing, taking a course at Sheridan College School of Craft & Design in Mississauga, Ontario, where he graduated in 1985.

After graduation he took up residency at one of Toronto’s most popular tourist destinations; Harbourfront Craft Studios, before setting up his own company in 1989. He relocated to Stowe in Vermont to continue to develop his range of blown glass products, where he designs and produces a diverse array of art glass products.

He currently designs and manufactures a diverse body of products in addition to overseeing the operations of the studio.

Artist’s Statement

“Of the many media and processes which can be used to create, I have always been attracted to glass and its potential. Initially working with stained glass, I became drawn to the dynamic nature of the blowing process which seemed to better suit both my nature and my vision.

I have a strong preference for objects of a personal scale and with potential utility. A vessel with a lid or stopper has always been of most interest. Colour and pattern are also important, either a single pure colour highlighting form or a more complex mixture to create patterns.

I am proud of the final product but the actual process of creation is what I find most satisfying.”
