"Amber Steamer Bowl" Size: 7.50" x 2.20" Price: SOLD


This is one of Mark's amazingly beautiful steamer bowls. I think they get their name from the perfectly laid out lines of air traps that radiate out from the center, but I'm not positive. They are thick, substantial pieces of perfect crystal transparent glass, and the light interacts beautifully with them. They are made to display marbles in, but you could display anything in them of course, or just let their beauty rest by themselves. Ideally, you can create your own little artistic groupings of marbles that complement the color of the bowl, something I had fun doing myself when I visited Mark's studio back in 2004. This one is more light amber colored in hand than the yellow the pictures show. It is a little wider and shorter than the other two I have and you could fit a somewhat larger grouping of marbles in this one if you needed to. Signed 'Matthews'.
