Title: Abstract PW, studio, Murano...?
Post by: Martyn K on February 24, 2010, 02:55:36 PM

Any ideas on this one please, the style looks sort of familiar but I can't place it.

Iridised multicoloured marved on granular abstract design, white casing and clear core. Flat polished base with some light base wear and remnants of a small round label. 6cm (2 3/8in) diameter.

Sorry about the poor pics.

Very exciting pwt!

It's by Isle of Wight Studio Glass, from a range called Rhythm and Blues, designed by Tim Harris, '92/93 only, not seen very often at all.

Well done!

Sorry, forgot to give credit for info to Mark Hill and his wonderful book, page 129.

Cheers Suzy,  :hiclp: much appreciated

that's why it looked a bit familiar then.! The round label was a red herring.

Now next ID you need to break the 10 minute barrier.
