Jazz Foglio

From Patchen's 'Foglio' series, this flattened vessel was created through the difficult technique called cane and murrine, which involves combining rods of colored glass with highly-patterned glass tiles then fusing them together to construct a glass bubble all before and blowing the final shape. This Foglio is composed with assorted stripes in amazon, lavender, azure and a range of red tones with windows in purple and moss. Murrine patterns provide vertical accents on both sides of the piece. After the patterns are applied to the glass, this Foglio is double-encased in clear glass for great depth, optics and stability. Museum Wax is recommended if added security is desired.
