CHARMING EXAMPLE OF IAN JOHNSTONE STUDIO GLASS

Presenting a delightful Ian Johnstone Australian studio art glass wine glass / champagne flute, an individual hand-blown piece with a tall, slender pink bowl and a beautifully formed stem in milky white glass with a delicate green tinge. The stem rises into a central flower-bud element from which finely formed milky white leaves extend beneath the bowl, adding a graceful sense of movement and a touch of whimsy.

The pink bowl is complemented by the botanical detail and softly contrasting gold-toned rim, while the handmade construction gives the glass an organic individuality. The imaginative treatment of the stem transforms an otherwise functional drinking vessel into a small sculptural work of art.
