Reef Bowl

$575.00

Created in Lisa Oakley's hot glass studio at Cedar Creek Gallery, this hand-blown Reef Bowl reflects the artist's fascination with the colors and textures of the underwater world. An avid scuba diver, Oakley draws inspiration from the coral reefs she explores, translating their layered patterns, shifting light, and natural forms into glass. She describes her Reef Bowls as an interpretation of the "chaos of textures and colors" found beneath the surface.

Layered details in shades of cobalt blue, emerald green, golden yellow, coral orange, lavender, and deep teal create a reef-inspired design reminiscent of coral formations and underwater plant life. Sapphire blue accents and dark flowing lines add contrast and definition throughout the piece.

At 15.5" in diameter and 3" high, this impressive Reef Bowl is designed to be appreciated as a work of art. Display it as a centerpiece using the molded foot on the back, or hang it on the wall with the integrated copper hook to showcase its color and depth from every angle.
