Working with exotic Rosalene glass for her canvas, internationally known Cameo Artist Kelsey Murphy has created this breathtaking article for those who love Fenton glass.
The "Poinsettias" Ginger Jar is strictly limited to 450 pieces.
Cameo carving is a a painstaking process. After the glass has been annealed, a special mask is taped to the surface of the glass. Using an advanced "vignetting" technique, each piece is carefully sandcarved, by hand, using aluminum oxide crystal under pressure to take away some of the surface.
Great individual skill and experience are needed to control this operation, as many distinct stages of successive cameo carving are required to create the remarkable depth and the intricate details.
Ginger jar stands 8" tall.
This is Number 285 of 450!
