"Party Cups" by Dante Marioni, 1992

Summary

Dante Marioni was blowing glass after class in high school and was an internationally known artist by the age of 19. His work is inspired by ancient Greek pottery, but he adds a modern twist. These brightly colored goblets take a whimsical approach to a traditional form. Look closely and you'll see that no two are alike!
