Object of the Week: Knobbed and Lotus-Bud Beaker, possibly Syria, Roman Empire, 1-99. 64.1.10. The knobbed pattern on this tall vessel was formed when a bubble of hot glass was inflated into a mold. Often described as a “lotus bud” because the knobs resemble the bud of the lotus, this pattern was very popular in the first century A.D. Such beakers were made in many sizes; this example is impresssively large at 20.2 cm tall and 8.7 cm wide.Object of the Week: Ionic Structure of Glass, Dominick Labino, Grand Rapids, Ohio, United States, 1979.

During the 1970s, no other American artist was fusing and casting glass of this size and complexity, and Labino never revealed his techniques. Ionic Structure of Glass was commissioned by the Museum to celebrate the opening in 1980 of its new circular aluminum, glass, and mirror building designed by the architect Gunnar Birkerts.Take your glassmaking skills to the next level this winter at The Studio!
