Set Of 6 “fish” Glasses By Frank Gehry, Swid Powell, 1990
Artist: Franck Gehry
A set of six “Fish” glasses designed by Frank Gehry in 1990 for the American manufacturer Swid Powell.
Crafted from cast and blown lead crystal, each glass features a sculptural, fish-shaped stem supporting a smooth bowl. Produced in Czechoslovakia by Desna Glass, they reflect Frank Gehry’s interest in organic forms and movement, elements already present in his architectural work.
Manufacturer’s mark and signature on the underside of the piece: “Gehry Swid Powell Edition 250 Amses Cosma.” This work is part of a limited edition of 250 pieces.
Edition: Swid Powell, circa 1990.
