"The Crystal Corporation" Size: 5.22" x 3.18" Price: SOLD


While some of Dan's clusters feature crystals that are mostly 'paddle faceted' (faceted while the glass is hot), these crystals in this amazing cluster were all coldworked (cut and polished) into perfect shapes and angles, and then assembled into the crystal cluster later after all of that work had been done. There are NINE separate crystals gathered together in this cluster! There is a TREMENDOUS amount of work that goes into these, and this one especially is laden with the results of sweat and laborious hours. I love the colors, I love the layers, I love the design, I love EVERYTHING about this one, and it is seriously hard to let go of. The main color in the crystals is this pale yellow transparent glass which I initially thought was UV, but turns out it's not. At some point I need to find out from Dan what color this was that he used, because it is seriously cool. This is a VERY historic gem which will be a highlight for your Benway collection!!
