Cranberry Glass Vase by Gerry Reilly c1993

This beguiling vase by renowned Australian glassmaker Gerry Reilly features swirling cranberry bubbles that seem to rise gently from the base, and intensify around the neck, interspersed occasionally by interjections of lilac and amber. The effect is visually striking, with a stunning translucency that allows light to penetrate and work its magic across the surface, creating beautiful patterns in the space around the vessel.

Gerry Reilly settled in the Margaret River region of WA in the 1980s, after intensive glassblowing training both in Australia and overseas. His work is highly regarded, with pieces held in the Ebeltoft Glasmuseum, Denmark, and major works featured in hotels, corporate spaces, and Optus Stadium. He has exhibited widely in local, national, and international galleries.

This delightful piece is in excellent condition, and is clearly inscribed to the base.
