My Mum is going to kill me !!
I found another one for her and she is trying to downsize !!!
Another trip to Vinnies paid off when I spied this vase on the edge of a top shelf .... a design I recognised yet again. This one was 'May' .... my other find was 'October' six months ago.
Same shop too !!!
"In creating a design, I start with the circle of life. I like to make glass you can feel, glass that appeals to all of our senses and tries to make use of refraction and light. I want to paint pictures and tell stories all at the same time. What drives me, is a sort of inner search, in which curiosity, the mysterious and mythology are all important ingredients. Glass, the living solid, is my constant companion."

The marks underneath were invisible .... but I knew they would be there when I put some talcum powder on the surface.
It is 6.375” high; top 6.25” x 3.25”.
The marks would date this one to 1986 I think.
Stunning vase , I could see you getting the whole collection!!
As beautiful as the previous one!

I really love this and enjoyed reading the artist's remarks about his process. I didn't know about the talcum powder trick. Thanks! Would love to see your mum's collection.
PS I looked up Kjell Engman's work and am now a fan of his.
