Sailboat, Small

A graceful study in motion, this sculptural glass form evokes the quiet elegance of a sail catching the wind. Mouthblown by the skilled artisans at Simon Pearce, its sweeping silhouette and crystal clarity create a striking sense of lightness and balance. Whether displayed on a shelf or tabletop, it brings a serene, nautical note to any setting. Growing up in Ireland, Simon Pearce learned to throw pots in his father's studio. At 16, he went to London to study glassblowing, then traveled Europe apprenticing with prestigious makers, including Vennini in Italy and Boda and Orrefors in Sweden. Since 1981, he has created both lead-free glass and stoneware from his studio in Vermont, powered by a river that runs beside it. Mouthblown lead-free glass. Handmade in the USA. 6 1/2" wide x 8" high. Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth.
