Signed verso, this vessel embodies a flared cylinder shape and is deep bronze in color. The piece has splashes of olive green, most notable to the top of the work. Some bits of blue go across the surface of the work with abstract strokes of deep bronze throughout. The underside is signed "Carlson 72."


During the 1960s, Carlson took an art class while studying for his MBA and MS and discovered glassmaking. Wanting to delve deeper into this particular form of art-making, Carlson built a studio in his backyard and taught himself to blow glass. Currently, Carlson's work focuses on creating bright and whimsical glass fruit sculptures and vases. less
