threaded and swirl design with blues and red in marblized style stem, 8 3/4" tall, signed, excellent, well listed artist.....Richard Clements, aka Chameleon Glass, is an old school borosilicate artist from Australia who has been honing his craft now for over 40 years! He began working with boro as a scientific glassblower, and after a few years wanted to explore his creative side more, so branched out into his own glassblowing shop. In those early years, there was no such thing as colored borosilicate glass, and he is one of the boro pioneers who began experimenting making his own colors, first on the bench, and then building furnaces to make larger amounts, mixing the clear with various oxides and metals to achieve the colors he wanted. At some point be began fuming with gold and silver as well, and there is a lot of fuming incorporated into his work at this point. It was during those exploratory years that he started making his first perfume bottles, and today he says he still loves making them. The designs keep evolving, each piece quite unique and gleaming a jewel! When you see these in hand you'll agree that this is classic borosilicate glass beauty
