Red Vessel ‘Glass Cane’ by Hayley Gammon

This coloured red vessel cane of glass is made, then coated in black to show a window of detail. Striking and unique this round handmade red vessel adds interest and a streak of colour.

Bright red bands encircle the piece, and a hint of yellow runs through, contrasting with the transparent and black. A long process is needed to create this glass cane but the final product becomes a testament to the artist’s experience and skill.

Fun and colourful, the perfect purchase for art glass lovers who appreciate the fusion of complicated processes yet simple design. Looking at this piece you could spend hours imagining the colours forming and swirling around.

N.B. The image shown is an example of one in the series. Slight variations in colour and form will occur as every piece is uniquely made just for you. Therefore, no two pieces are ever the same. Hayley personally signs each piece.
