"Paperweight Vessel" by Mark Peiser, 1978
Add to SetSummary
Mark Peiser transformed the world of glass through a technique he devised which involves drawing with melted glass canes of various colors on molten glass. He encapsulates these images between layers of glass to create the 3-d effect of his "Paperweight Vase" series (1975-1981). Landscape imagery is a frequent subject for this series.
