Artifact Overview
Herb Babcock is known for large-scale, public sculptures fabricated of steel and stone in combination with glass. His earliest glass pieces, however, were vessel forms, produced from the early 1970s until the mid-1980s. This piece, made during Babcock's 2017 residency at The Henry Ford, references his earlier work in terms of scale and abstract decoration.

This platter is a new form for Janusz Pozniak, based on experimental pieces he first produced at a glass furnace in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017 and developed in conversation with Josh Wojick, Greenfield Village master glassblower. The colorations in the platter are from bits of murrini glass sandwiched together and fused into shape.
