Art Glass Vases From the Past and Present
Art Glass and Art Glass Vases
Brief History of Art Glass and Art Glass Vases
The history of art glass and art glass vases began with the Egyptians in 1200 B.C., with evidence of glass coated stone beads. The art of glass blowing to create artistic mediums is thought to have evolved with the first glass blowing pipe created between 350 and 25 B.C.
This sparked a revolution in the use of glass as an artistic medium, as the basic components of glass (silica from sand, lime and soda) could now be molded to a multitude of various shapes, vessels and useful utensils.
Glassblowing is an art. Typically heated to about 2400 degress, the artist will gather a bit of glass from the furnace and attach it to the end of his blow pipe to create various art glass designs. The beauty of these hand blown and mouth blown art glass pieces can be simply stunning.
There are multiple stages involved in creating the finished art glass pieces, as reheating many times to mold the desired art glass vases is necessary.
Slow cooling of the raw work is required, and then surface smoothing with various tools is done to create the finished piece of art glass and art glass vases.
