The big sculptures are in a different league to the smaller knots (they're tourist pieces really). My sculpture is fairly small compared to most, the ones I've seen at glass fairs were over a foot tall and extremely heavy, but it is unusual in that it has two "portholes" - an area of blown glass that gives the effect of a lens, either deliberately done (though how when it was made on a marver I don't know) or a happy coincidence of trapped air blowing it's own shape when it expanded with the heat of the glass. As I am fairly ignorant on the technical side of the making I would love some input from others.
Mark Hill has a couple of lovely examples in his book, pg34/5 and their prices were a bit of a surprise too - £4-600!

Rare thing - nice find :-) Well spotted...good old Fleabay and a few hours to spare!

Hi Mark
I'd love your thoughts on the 'portholes', have you noticed them on other sculptures, do you think they are a happy accident of trapped air or a deliberate blown lens?
