About this Item

Cape Town, South Africa
David Reade clear glass scent bottle blown with a red swirl
with stopper, engraved 'R 2011'
2011
15cm high, 5,5cm wide

Notes

A transparent glass body with swirling red patterns, showcases his skill in integrating vibrant colors and dynamic forms into Reade's pieces. The addition of a stopper complements the bottle's functionality and enhances its visual appeal. Reade makes his clear glass himself, from “true Cape sand”, and each piece starts as a ball of molten glass at the end of an iron pipe. His assistant then blows through the pipe, while he shapes the ball, using hand-held tools.
