Symmetry and brilliant color are the essential visual elements for this glass blower. In this piece, Blomdahl emphasizes the curved silhouette of the classically inspired form. A clear band of glass that joins the crimson bottom of the vase to the green top acts as an optic lens to absorb light and produce a warm inner glow.
