This Cohn-Stone tortoise shell series piece has a rich earth tone pebbled exterior with a soft metallic yellow interior. Smooth to the touch, the opaque glass is blown very thin to allow light to pass through. Simple and elegant. Approximately 7" high. The Tortoise Shell series is a magical marriage of classical forms and boldly elegant color. The result is a contemporary work of functional art with a timeless beauty that fits in a wide variety of environmental styles. Based on a process developed by artist Michael Cohn in the early 1970's, the Tortoise Shell pattern has evolved over many years into one of the Studio’s signature lines. Each piece is created with a unique richness and depth of patterning—a timeless combination of contemporary and classical art.
