You may notice mine is on the ground, with soft stuff under it. It's very heavy indeed. 

These pieces cast really great complex shadows.

Hi Sue
If you remember my wife sold you the Zigzag vase

I didn't realise this was you, Ian, sorry! My excuse is I was caught up with the glass.
I've been a bit of a fan of Phil Atrill's work for a while.
He was exhibited in the Strathearn Gallery in Crieff. A wonderful place which has always supported art glass.
Info about him and more glass illustrated on their website, here.

Me again Sue
Am I allowed to ask ......
Does his work command large prices? And is it an early work of his ?
Kind regards
Ian

As I said earlier, his Distortion pieces are one-offs and the high end of his work. They are rather expensive.
But I've only ever bought his work new, in Crieff. I don't know anything about the secondary market.

The bowls are newer than the massive vase I have, but I do know that is fairly early. I did just go and check it - no date is written beside the sig, but I have dug in my folder and found the reciept for it. It was bought in 2004.
If you look at the link to his work in the Strathearn Gallery and click on a piece, the price new, will come up with the enlargement. Or you could contact him at his website and ask for the price of a distortion bowl.

Thanks Sue again
