Artist Michael Trimpol says, "You don't blow glass. You whisper to it."

And he's done some sweet talking to produce this lovely bowl, a swirl of teal that catches the light and will set off anything you choose to put in it, should you choose anything at all. Gentle ridges provide texture and guide the eye around and to the rim, reminiscent of a gentle eddy. The bowl is signed by the artist and is 7-3/4" in diameter and stands 4" tall.
