A Collaberation

[SVB]

Admittedly not a huge amount of turning in this other than a small off centre mini bowl but my wife does kiln formed glass and asked me to make a base for one of her drop vases. Thought I'd share here.

That's an impressive piece of fine glassware, would be extremely nervous with the simple support (unless there's some form of light adhesion we can't see.)

Could see similar on a rustic/natural multi coloured wood plinth, from Yew for instance with complimentary colours in the glass.

The vase is beautiful and does not compete with the base. I think the combination is excellent. Well done to you both.

Happy Xmas everyone.

Yes nice combination.

The glasswork is lovely and I like the colour of the wood base but it looks a bit heavy to me. Perhaps a routed waistline would lighten the look a bit.

It's a lovely piece of wood and well finished Simon but I'm afraid it jars with me a little on the design level too. Because the vase is so elegant and above all curvaceous, I'm wanting to see that echoed and picked up in the base. I agree with Woodpig that the base has slightly too much visual weight but beyond that, I just need to see curves for it to feel integrated with the style of the vase.

Nice idea though, the off centre mini indentation.
