Danny Parker, "Fractacryst" Size: 2.19" Price: SOLD


Danny was an early glass artist (who also made some marbles in addition to these crystals) who really caught my attention. Danny knows how to make fun glass that really captures the imagination and sparkle of what glass is. I especially fell in love with his crystal creations, in which he places an object at the bottom of the crystal, and then had his friend Ben Rader facet them. The faceting on these was way ahead of its time, the best I had ever seen back in 2004, and still today, it is beyond almost all of what else is being done. Super fun to stare at and play with, just the way glass should be! This one has a nice white opal chunk down in the bottom of it, which shows up in all of the facet windows as you move it around. It was very hard to capture with the camera, and looks WAAAAY better in hand! Here's your chance at a neat piece of glass history! Signed on the bottom: 'DP 04 BJR'.
