Reticello blown glass bowl by Louis Andrew Schaffer has beautiful blue canes that crisscross into a diamond patten with tiny air bubbles trapped inside of each one. The bright red rim stuns. Graceful and captivating, this is a technique from Renaissance Venetian glassworking.
"I was drawn to off hand glass blowing after seeing a demonstration. The shear difficulty of creating these beautiful colorful masterpieces from a molten medium truly intrigued me.
Lino Tagliapietra's work was definitely always my favorite, he's my biggest influence. The technical aspects of his works make them so awe inspiring to me. Dante Marioni is another very technical glass artist whose work was influential. I studied both their works, I also was able to watch them both work live multiple times." - Louis Andrew Schaffer
