Her work is characterised by vibrant colours, glossy finishes, and exceptional hand-blown craftsmanship — all hallmarks present in this striking cobalt blue pedestal form.

Did you Know?

If a glass makes a sound like a gong or has a clear, sustained bell-like ring, it is likely crystal because its lead content allows it to vibrate for a longer period, creating a more musical, prolonged tone. Glass, on the other hand, produces a duller, shorter chime when tapped.

Crystal is glass that has been made denser and more brilliant by adding lead. This added lead allows the material to resonate and vibrate for a longer time, resulting in the distinctive, musical, and lingering ringing sound. Regular glass, due to its composition, hardens more quickly and has a less resonant quality.
