A beautiful example of hand-blown Bristol studio glass by Peter Hewlett, who famously helped revive the lost 18th-century art of Bristol Blue glassmaking in the 1980s. Signed clearly on the lower side.\u003cbr\u003eThis substantial hand-worked glass piece has a wonderfully architectural, almost abstract form, created from layers of deep cobalt blue glass. Viewed from different angles, the form changes completely, with curved, folded and textured elements catching the light beautifully.\u003cbr\u003eThe sculpture is signed by Peter Hewitt to the lower edge and is associated with the celebrated tradition of Bristol Blue Glass, renowned for its intense cobalt colouring.\u003cbr\u003eIt works beautifully as a decorative glass sculpture, desk object or substantial paperweight and would look particularly good displayed where natural light can pass through the blue glass.\u003cbr\u003eDetails\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Peter Hewlett\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Bristol, England\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Hand-worked art glass\u003cbr\u003eColour: Deep cobalt \/ Bristol Blue\u003cbr\u003eType: Art glass sculpture \/ decorative paperweight\u003cbr\u003eSigned: Peter Hewitt\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: Vintage, late 20th century\u003cbr\u003eStyle: British studio glass \/ contemporary art glass\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good vintage condition, with minor signs of age and use consistent with a handmade vintage glass object.\u003cbr\u003eThe wonderful irregularities, folds and textures are part of the handmade character of the piece rather than the uniform finish of factory-produced glass.\u003cbr\u003eA particularly decorative example of collectible British art glass and a fabulous flash of Bristol Blue for a bookshelf, desk, cabinet or contemporary interior.\u003cbr\u003ePlease study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.","brand":"French General Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58635438686589,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0017\/7694\/3177\/files\/il_fullxfull.8515290567_780u.jpg?v=1788605568","url":"https:\/\/www.frenchgeneraltrading.co.uk\/products\/peter-hewlett-bristol-blue-art-glass-sculpture-signed-british-studio-glass-paperweight","provider":"French General Trading","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
