As collectors we all go through phases where we focus on one thing or another and lately I have been focusing on Hoya Crystal.
Hoya no longer make decorative crystal - since 2009 their production has been involved with the spectacle, photography and other specialist lenses part of their business.
This sculpture was one of a limited range made in the late 80s/early 90s, and to me shows an exceptional understanding of light refraction.
Made from one piece of crystal it has been cast and cut on the back side to give a perfect, 3 dimensional, and very detailed, picture of a balloon flying over mountains.
It is beautiful and incredibly designed. I'm sorry I am not a good enough photographer for it!!
