Height 7 in., Width 24 in., Depth 7 in. This richly colored glass sculpture in purples, grays, and blues by John Leighton is an exercise in meticulous attention to detail and exemplifies the artists skill in blending traditional glassblowing techniques with modern artistic expression. His work is included in many private and public collections including Smithsonian Institution, Corning Museum of Glass, Oakland Museum, Ebeltoft Glasmuseum (Denmark), Lemberk Castle (Czech Republic), Notojima Glass Museum, and Kanazu Art Museum (Japan).
