A highly skilled, delicate and technically accomplished example, the unusual twisted clear glass stem is formed from four fused rods and attached to a flared and flattened trumpet form using the'thrown away' technique and then affixed to a beautiful octagonal petal form base. The rare vibrant jade green opalescent milky colour utilised is sublime and sets this example apart as a prime example of Powell's artistic and technical achievement, it is a colour we have yet to see where they are usually found in pale blue and yellow colours.
