## Title Gulf Stream Vase

## Subtitle A 7.5-inch hand-blown vase by John Gibbons. Cut glass rods, fused, blown — each one different.

## Description John Gibbons makes glass the slow way. He cuts small rods and tiles into a pattern, lays them on a steel marver, fuses them in a 2,100-degree kiln until they bond, then rolls a blow pipe along the edge to gather the molten sheet into a cylinder. The cylinder becomes the vase. Each piece is built from a different arrangement of rods, so each piece is a different vase. There is no mold. There is no repeat.

The Gulf Stream piece holds the colors of an ocean current — blues and greens fused into the wall, visible from every angle, never the same as you turn it. Seven and a half inches tall, six and a half wide. Hand-blown, hand-finished, made in a US studio.

Most decorative glass at this price tier is mold-blown overseas in batches of hundreds. This is not that.

Every purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. A vase holds the warmth of a flower for the few days it lasts. The funded sauna session holds the warmth of a body for one hour.
