Carved and made entirely by the artist.

The Story

Labradorite hides its colour until it is moved. Grzegorz oriented the carving so the flash of blue rises across the face of the vessel as you tilt it — the piece is designed for the turn of a wrist.

About This Work

A labradorite body oriented during carving so its blue schiller crosses the face of the vessel as it is tilted. Silver collar, stopper and loop are hand-raised and fitted to the carved neck.
