Steuben Art Glass Feather Vase - Peter Dorby

This Steuben Feather Vase, designed by Peter Dorby, seems to have taken its inspiration from something far more delicate than glass ought to allow. Its form rises softly, with the suggestion of a feather caught mid-descent—weightless, gentle, and utterly unhurried.

There is a quiet intricacy to its presence… the way the contours gather and release, as though guided by the softest current of air. Light glides along its surface with an almost airy touch, never lingering too long, always shifting—much like the form itself suggests.

One might imagine a single stem placed within, or perhaps nothing at all… for it carries its own beauty quite independently, needing no accompaniment.
