This extra-large hand-blown cobalt blue art glass orb is a powerful sculptural object—rich in color, exceptional in scale, and unmistakably handmade. Measuring approximately 6 inches in diameter and weighing well over 3 pounds, it has true visual and physical presence, the kind reserved for statement art rather than simple décor.
The depth of the cobalt glass is intense and luminous, evoking ocean depths and jewel-toned light. Suspended within the orb are complex internal inclusions—air pockets, movement lines, and organic forms created during the glassblowing process. These natural variations are not imperfections; they are the record of the artist’s hand and ensure this piece is entirely one of a kind.
Because of its size, this orb reads immediately as functional sculpture. It anchors a room with quiet authority, whether styled alone on a console, coffee table, or pedestal, or paired with other art objects in a curated interior. Light passing through the glass reveals shifting layers of blue that change throughout the day, rewarding both distance and close viewing.
This is a piece chosen intentionally—by collectors, designers, or anyone who values weight, craftsmanship, and presence.
