Santa Barbra Art Glass Vase by Saul Alcaraz

Picked this and a few other pieces from an antique shop going out of business sale. Here's a little info. on Saul.

Saul's current work consists mostly of vessels and lamps many of which are sculpted shapes with rich transparent jewel tone colors. "Glass is a very sensual medium, but it can also be very cruel. It is limiting in its fragility and sensitivity to the elements as it is being created, but it also gives one a chance for great self expression in both form and color", says Saul. "I enjoy appreciate all aspects of hot glass, but it's the free-form ability of glass that has captured my attention for the last 25 years
I love the whole process of designing work and overcoming the technical challenges that seem to com with each piece. In the end, it's the simple beauty that moves me most, and I feel successful and grateful when it moves others."

Hand blown glass vases are incredibly beautiful pieces of art, exhibiting both style and class, crossing the bridge between form and functionality. Saul's glass vases are hand blown, one-of-a-kind, unique pieces of glass art. Each hand blown vase is individually made.
