About the Item

Hugh Findletar is perhaps best known for his bustlike vases, which he calls "flowerheadz." They are created in glassblowing workshop on Murano, an Italian island near Venice. The "z," he said, is for his daughter, Zadie, who was named after the writer Zadie Smith. He uses the letter liberally: Mr. Findletar refers to his pieces collectively as "glassz," and he has made sculptures of horses, fish and shells that he calls "horseheadz," "fishiez" and "shellz." The flowerheadz vases are usually based on people, and he has made versions inspired by the model Naomi Campbell; a doorwoman who works at his apartment building in Milan; and Solomon, the biblical king. Mr. Findletar encourages buyers to fill them with flowers. (He likes cattail, anthurium, hydrangea and palmetto, which he said created dramatic hairdos.)
