This fabulous hollow egg shaped form has been crafted in a frosted clear glass. Randomly sized speckles of frit colour cover the surface of the egg, elegantly following the sleek curved contour of the form. An appealing cool-toned combination of various shades of blue, green and pearlescent white toned mottles combine to create a wonderfully unique coloured surface. The colours were applied as frits to the original gather, and worked into the surface of the glass as it was blown into shape. By the very nature of the beautiful random surface treatment, each individual piece in the series is totall y unique.
