This is a VERY early planet from Josh, made sometime in the 80's or very early 90's, as it is unsigned. You can also tell from the style that it is early, with the smaller planet and more clear 'atmosphere' around it. These early pieces are by far the most highly sought after, as they were made back when Josh was doing most of the glass work himself on these planets. There are some wonderful transparent, sparkly green contrails behind the satellite, and ALSO a bubble contrail that goes around the marble. You also see lots of gold found on the islands of this planet. This one is a VERY special piece and an amazing example of Josh's work. Unsigned.
