Multi colored patches appear on the surface that look like anemones. You see tones of red, white, blue, black and green.
Some sections have dichroic inclusions which add a slight sparkle and isolated bubbles add to the drama of this piece. This sphere is from Simpson's "inhabited planet" series. It is a very fascinating creation and fun to study.
The sphere is in good condition without cracks or chips. The bottom reads: JS 03. Its an amazing sphere and would be a great addition to your signed art glass collection. The stand is not included.
