An early hand‑blown John Ditchfield art glass vase for Glasform, featuring swirling brown and amber tones with a subtle blue iridescent shimmer across the surface. The form is rounded with a narrow opening and diagonal colour movement that gives the piece a sense of rotation and depth. The base is engraved “J. Ditchfield / 1980”, confirming an early Glasform date.
This is an attractive example of Ditchfield’s early 1980s work, when he was developing the iridescent and lustre techniques that would later define Glasform’s signature style.
