George Bucquet Hot Cast Glass Bowl 12 ¼" diameter X 2 3/8" Tall This exquisite piece of glass is in excellent condition It's signed on the bottom and dated "99" and is constructed from Glass, Copper and Patina Working together with precision timing, Bucquet and his assistants pour hot glass, thick and translucent as honey, into a handmade sand mold, then carefully press it into shape. A mold is individually created for each casting and the colored molten glass, formulated from scratch, is melted to 2350 F in a custom built furnace. After several days of cooling in an annealing oven, each bowl is skillfully hand detailed with copper, silver and gold leaf. Truly a master of his craft, Bucquet continues his quest to push the limits of artistic glass casting. George Bucquet began casting hot glass at Penland School, North Carolina in 1984. During his seven years working t he became a resident artist. After completing his studies, George moved to Arcata, CA, w he has continued to develop new and innovative techniques for creating his original contemporary forms. George's work is found in galleries around the world and in the private collections of Rupert Murdoch, Bill Gates, Irvin Borowsky, Noel and Janene Hilliard, and the Estate of Jerry Garcia. His work can also be found in the permanent collections of the U.S. Embassy, Ottawa, Canada, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Lausanne, Switzerland, the Asheville Museum of Art, NC, the National Liberty Museum, Philadelphia, PA, and the White House .
