This handblown glass Fluted bowl has a tortise shell exterior and dichroic gold interior with black lip wrap and base. Approximately 13 inches wide and 8 inches in height. 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.
