Handblown Glass: Bubbles and Pale Blue

A set of hand-blown glass objects. They are water bottles, wine glasses, oil cruets, and several spherical lamp shades. The glass has a faint greenish or amber tint, not completely colorless; the wall thickness is uneven, thicker at the bottom, with noticeable bubbles and swirling patterns inside; the rim is fire-polished and slightly undulating. Each piece varies slightly in shape and size. They are placed on a wooden table by the window, where strong sunlight refracts through the glass, casting bright and distorted light spots and focal points on the tabletop and white wall, making them the brightest elements in the space. Nearby are several terracotta pots for contrast. Avoid: using completely colorless transparent machine-produced glass, eliminating bubbles and variations in thickness, making all objects identical, depicting glass as opaque.

一組手工吹製的玻璃器物。它們是水瓶、酒杯、油壺與幾只球形的燈罩,玻璃帶有淡淡的青綠或琥珀色調,不是完全無色;器壁的厚薄不均,底部較厚,內部有明顯的氣泡與旋轉的紋路;口沿是火燒圓潤的,略有起伏。每一件的形狀與大小都略有差異。它們放在窗邊的木桌上,強烈的陽光穿過玻璃時被折射,在桌面與白牆上投下明亮而扭曲的光斑與焦點,是空間中最亮的元素。旁邊是幾只赤陶罐提供對比。避免:使用完全無色透明的機器量產玻璃、消除氣泡與厚薄的變化、讓所有器物一致、把玻璃畫成不透光。
