Joe Cariati Angelic Glass Bottle Grouping, 2024

About the Item

Contemporary American glass artist Joe Cariati's Angelic Glass Bottle Grouping, consisting of seven pieces, is quintessentially modern in both function and style, showcasing a purity of form, elegant lines, and graceful curves. His work is entirely 'free blown,' a traditional Venetian glass blowing technique that relies on human skill rather than molds to shape vessels from start to finish. He begins the process by gathering a thick, honey-like amount of molten glass on a blowpipe. Air is blown into the pipe to form a bubble, which is then layered with pre-heated color and additional glass until the required amount is collected. At the glassblower's bench, where most of the shaping occurs, Joe expertly molds the material into the final vessel. Due to the rapid cooling of the glass, it must be frequently reheated in a 'reheat chamber' to stay malleable for shaping. A distinctive feature of Joe's method is the use of a 'punty,' a solid rod to which the glass is transferred for further refinement of the vessel's neck, body, and foot. This technique allows for the creation of unique features such as the elegant necks of the Angelic Bottles and the signature 'T-top' lips of the Decanters, which cannot be replicated by machines or molds. After the vessel is shaped, it is removed from the punty and placed in an annealing oven to cool slowly overnight, enhancing its durability and preventing breakage. The next day, each piece is further refined in the cold working studio, where it is precisely ground with a diamond lapidary machine to ensure a perfectly flat base. This meticulous hand-finishing process sets Joe's work apart from mass-produced glassware. Each piece is signed and dated on the bottom. These are made to order pieces and will ship directly from the artist's studio Shown in the first photo, from left to right: Flask Angelic Topaz Bottle (12.5” H x 8.5” W x 2.5”D), Large Topaz Bottle (19.5” H x 4.25” W), Small Ice Blue Bottle (14.75" H x 3.75" W), Large Ice Blue Bottle (19.5” H x 4.25” W), Wide Ice Blue Bottle (11.5” H x 5.75” W), Large Tourmaline Bottle (19.5” H x 4.25” W), Small Tourmaline Bottle (14.75" H x 3.75" W) About the artist: Born in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, Joe Cariati showed an early passion for glass and sculpture, leading him to study at prestigious institutions like Pilchuck Glass School, San Francisco State University, Haystack Mountain School, Penland School of Crafts, and briefly at Ohio State University. His artworks have been featured in major exhibitions such as "Subtexture" in San Francisco, "Painting With Light" in Palos Verdes, and "20/20 Vision" at the Museum of American Glass in New Jersey, reflecting his significant impact on contemporary crafts. In 2003, Joe founded the Los Angeles Glass Center, where he continues to perfect his skills and expand his creative limits as a glassblower, designer, and teacher in his studio. Joe's creations are included in esteemed collections like the Museo Italo Americano in San Francisco and the Museum of American Glass in New Jersey, as well as in private and corporate collections, including Banana Republic / Gap Incorporated. He has received numerous accolades, such as the Modesto Lanzone Award and a nomination for the Saxe Award, and has been a vital educator, teaching at California State University Fullerton and various schools worldwide. His work and perspectives have been highlighted in leading publications including Artweek, Bon Appetit, Elle Decoration, House Beautiful, Town and Country, and Vogue.

Massimo Micheluzzi Black Murano Glass Vase, Hand Blown and Battuto Cut, 2002
By Massimo Micheluzzi
Located in New York, NY
Contemporary Italian artist Massimo Micheluzzi's hand blown and battuto cut black Murano glass vase was made in 2002. Incised signature to underside: [Massimo Micheluzzi, Murano, 2002]. Image 6: Massimo Micheluzzi (Italian, born 1957) Artist's Bio: Born in Venice in 1957, Massimo Micheluzzi was introduced to the world of glass in the late 1970's as a young photographer for the renowned Venini glass factory, an extraordinary experience that over time will prove to be decisive. Following a long and fruitful apprenticeship in the furnace, Micheluzzi started his personal journey in the late 1990's. His work has constantly evolved since then as he continues to explore new ways of mastering the material, whilst always remaining ‘true’ to the nature of glass. Working alongside his master glassblower, Massimo Micheluzzi uses the techniques that have defined the Murano tradition intervening directly on each phase of the creative process. Striving to balance tradition and innovation, he applies these ancient crafts to achieve a uniquely modern aesthetic. Micheluzzi’s work is deeply embedded in the life and history of the city of Venice and constantly inspired by its watery surroundings and architecture. His eclectic body of work shifts between fluid and organic shapes, iridescent transparencies and opaque carved surfaces as well as elaborate colour combinations, mosaic patterns and sculptural forms. His works have exhibited in cities all over the world and are in some international museums and various public and private collections such as the The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The Corning Museum of Glass in New York, Muse´e Des Arts De´coratifs de Paris, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Museo del Vetro di Murano in Venice and Villa Necchi...
