"The NLM Jelly Bean Snake" Goblet by Lucio Bubacco, 2003
Add to SetSummary
Lucio Bubacco grew up surrounded by the centuries-old glass culture of the island of Murano, Italy. Lampworking, a process by which a cane of glass is melted by a gas-powered torch and shaped, is his chosen method of artistic expression--an uncommon one for glass artists. Bubacco's goblets are intended for artistic enjoyment rather than functional use.
