Item Description

This 7" Glass Art Bowl by artist Stephen Schlanser was commissioned for a recent private celebrity event.  This limited edition features wild cats and is signed and dated by the artist.

This Schlanser Glass Art Bowl has been individually handcrafted by transforming sheet glass into an exquisite vessel.  The artist carefully shaped it inside a closed kiln by heating it to melting temperature. Once the glass approached it¹s nearly liquid state, it gravitates to the shapes. After a gradual decrease in temperature to a complete cool-down, each piece is hand cut and high polished on diamond wheels.  All designs are hand drawn, cut and high pressure sandblasted. Once a piece has proceeded through these work stages flawlessly, various polished or hand chipped bases are permanently attached. Upon completion, each piece is signed and dated

About the Artist

Mr. Schlanser has a diverse and interesting background. His occupations have ranged from racing motorcycles to modeling. He was raised in a community rich in heritage and as a result has a great appreciation for architecture and the arts.

Mr. Schlanser found his interest in glass while working as an apprentice for the renowned German glass artisan Paul von Domarus and later opened his own successful stained glass studio. He has since taken the glass medium into unexplored territories. In 1990 he presented his first collection of kiln-fired glass; the process by which plate glass is carefully shaped by heating it to near melting temperature, then gravitating from its solid state to form the shapes as seen in the Schlanser line.
