Celadon Purse Vessel

Bengt Hokanson and Trefny Dix

This oblong, blown glass form has a beautiful copper blue color wrap, and a complimentary celadon blue green wrap that creates a tropical feeling color wash across the piece. On each side of the flattened form there is a simple, contrasting pattern of orange, and bright blue dots. As each are one-of-a-kind, the one you receive will vary from the one in the image.

Hokanson Dix Glass was founded in 1996 under the studio name Boar Glass. At their East Hampton, New York studio, Bengt and Trefny use a combination of traditional Italian and Swedish glass blowing techniques as well as many experimental techniques that they have developed in their studio. Greenport’s beautiful seascape and maritime environment was an early influence on Bengt and Trefny’s work. They also found inspiration from the great abstract painters: Rothko, Gorkey and early Mattisse. Other sources of inspiration have been: world textiles, aquatic life forms, landscapes and urban graffiti. 

Approximately 12 x 3 x 5.5 in.
