Cameo Series Vases by Sarah Wiberley
‘Cameo Series’ was inspired by investigating the ornament & traditions of English 19th century cameo glass. The imagery follows the familiar motif of the bird as it escapes from its 19th century scenery and explores new surroundings. The decorative floral motifs, inspired by original cameo designs, have been infiltrated by a modern aesthetic.

Cameo Vase XI, 22cm high £520
Cameo Vase VIII, 30.5cm high £780
Pin bowl by Tavs Jørgensen
For many years these bowls remained an illusive conceptual project for Jørgensen. Having finally perfected his ‘Reconfigurable Pin Tooling’ technique, there is now a striking finished item. Employing such an extreme working method, the glass is manipulated with exacting precision. The end result is a highly contrasted object from the soft, flowing internal surface to the peaked exterior, on which these perch, elegantly raising upwards.
Small 52cm diameter £600, Large 60cm diameter £750
Available in smoke and bronze colour glass.
