Switch Cane Glass Plate
A vibrant exploration of movement and color, this hand-blown glass plate by Louis Andrew Schaffer features dynamic switch cane patterns that ripple across the surface in layered bands of color. The flowing lines create a sense of motion, shifting visually as the piece is viewed from different angles.
The circular form provides a balanced structure for the energetic composition, while the precision of the cane work reflects the artist’s technical mastery. Subtle variations in thickness and transparency allow light to interact with the surface, enhancing the depth and complexity of the design.
Equally suited for display on a stand or as a sculptural accent, this piece bridges traditional Venetian glass techniques with a contemporary, expressive aesthetic.
The underside is finished with a clear, fire-polished pontil, thoughtfully integrated into the form.
