Bowl On Foot, Blown Chalice Shape With Inclusions Signed J.c Novaro

Hand-blown chalice-shaped bowl signed and dated 1990. The neck is flared and edged with green, the body is powder pink and the amber inclusion running down the stem is very successful. The decoration, an amber/brown cast that seems frozen in the thickness with a magnifying glass effect typical of his work, iridescent, metallic reflections that change according to the light: emerald green, bronze, gold, pink; very beautiful marbled/mottled effects with pink, white powdered backgrounds.

He used crushed glass and added oxides to create these golden, colored spots.
