Modern Functional Art: Similar pieces are often categorized as "heady glass" and crafted by individual lampworkers or specialized glass studios. Item DetailsType: A hand-blown soft glass water pipe. These are typically created using techniques like those found in Murano or Bohemian glass making but adapted for functional use. Design Features: Colors: Vibrant "ruby red" or "cranberry" body with white glass threading (swirls). Handle & Bowl: An applied glass "coil wrap" handle terminates in a worked glass bowl. The circular element seen in the vase is the top of this bowl, which often features an "eye" or flower-like "murrina" design.
