Description

Four blown glass vessels stand side by side on a dark surface against a plain grey backdrop. From left to right they have a globular body with a flared rim, a tall cylindrical neck with a flat collar rim, a conical body on a small foot with a trumpet-shaped neck, and a globular body with a short cylindrical neck. The glass is iridescent and weathered, with pitted, flaking surfaces on several of them.
