opaline style pink glass, pierced areas, signed Grant, '81, 8", excellent...Known for his company, CELESTIAL ART GLASS, Jim Grant works with his wife Connie, and they have been collaborative glassblowing partners since 1972. Since then, they have followed their love of the medium through many creative changes, always following their own inventive ideas. Today they create vessels and perfume bottles in vivid colored glass. Some have carved silver glass overlays, and others are wrapped with copper knots and weaves. All are etched with garnet granules under very high pressure, and are signed by the artist. The Grants earned their degrees from U.C., Berkeley.
