Excavated Vessel 46 in Blown Glass, Unique

About the Item

The concept of excavated vessels was born out of capturing waste from one of our studio specific processes, to be used as the foundation material for another. Pieces of annihilated moulds made of agglomerated cork are collected, saved, applied and assembled into new forms. Edited with an array of primitive tools like the claw end of a hammer, a paint can opener, and other workshop ephemera, we further dismantle and shape the hollow form. Glass is gathered and constructed in a variety of ways on the end of a blowpipe. And the bubble is inserted into the carved cavity. As the glass expands it acquires the imprint of the surface. The moulds are released and pulled away. Oxygen floods between the glass surfaces and the cork. Dramatically the cork ignites and the mould is lost. The result is an object of deeply cosmic spirit, with an appearance of Earthly geographies reorganized and suspended in space.

    By Lino Tagliapietra
    Located in North Miami, FL
    This magnificent work of glass by the maestro Murano glass blower Lino Tagliapietra is a piece of sculpture in glass form. It is a sculpture, a vase and or a vessel. The technique which is very complicated and of this master is called Tessutto. This is the large size of this particular graphic glass work. The glass canes which cross form almost an optical view. It is dated 1990. Lino Tagliapetra is in class all by himself. At the young age of 11 he began his apprenticeship with Seguso. He was born on the island of Murano in 1934 and is now pushing 86 years of age. This is a very sophisticated work of art in glass and must be appreciated with such. It is best lite...
