STUNNING RICK BECK (HAND BLOWN) Art Glass Disc Paperweight, Signed
STUNNING RICK BECK (HAND BLOWN) Art Glass Disc Paperweight, Signed... The husband and wife team of Valerie and Richard Beck work in blown glass to create objects of beauty and function. They have taught at the Penland School of Craft in North Carolina throughout their long career. They live and work in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Their glass ornaments incorporate Murrini designs, based on an ancient Roman design. Layers of colored glass are heated, shaped and stretched into long canes. Thin cross-sections of this are then cut creating the murrinis.
These opaque murrinis are incorporated into the translucent glass during the process of blowing, creating the patterns you see in the finished blown ball. Rick & Valerie have their own workshop where they create their STUNNING pieces. You can find very few similar discs like this, online. Each disc is unique and different.
This disc will be absolutely beautiful placed near a window! It comes with the wooden block stand. MEASUREMENTS ARE: 5-1/2 H x 5-3/4 W. I do not want to chance this piece getting broken in transit going back and forth.
It WILL be packaged securely to arrive safely to you. Thank you and ENJOY you art! The item "STUNNING RICK BECK (HAND BLOWN) Art Glass Disc Paperweight, Signed" is in sale since Saturday, April 20, 2019.
