"Cobalt Pair - Chalais & Becco Di Oca" by Dante Marioni, 1996
Add to SetSummary
Dante Marioni, whose father is the well-known Studio Glass artist Paul Marioni, was exposed to glassblowing from a young age. His work is inspired by ancient Greek pottery. The form of the pitcher and goblet is classical, but the elongated lines and bold colors are conceptually modern. Unlike traditional works of pottery and glass, this pair is nonfunctional.
