Amphora is a refined expression of contemporary glass artistry, balancing technical mastery with historical references. The tall and elliptical shape brings a stillness and a refined moment. Suspended air bubbles within the object evoke a sense of captured breath, a frozen moment from the glassblowing process. The solid glass handles along the sides subtly echo traditional amphora silhouettes and create a sense of stability, grounding the object. Both functional in reference and sculptural in execution, Amphora bridges history and innovation through light and form.

Materials and making

Mouth-blown glass

Glass is made in minutes and cooled for hours. Molten at over a thousand degrees, it is gathered, blown and shaped while it moves, a material that records the breath and timing of the person making it. No two pieces cool exactly alike.

Material: Glass
Dimensions: 400 x 310 x 155 mm.
Edition: 14 + 3 Artist's Proofs (AP)

01
Gathering
Molten glass is gathered from the furnace onto a blowing iron at working temperature.
02
Blowing and shaping
The glassblower inflates and turns the gather, shaping it by hand and tool while it is still soft.
03
Forming
The piece is worked toward its final form; colour, wall and profile are set before the glass stiffens.
04
Annealing
Finished glass is cooled slowly over hours in a controlled oven so it settles free of internal stress.
