Luster Vessel 1270 (5-3/4").

"Mossy green continents adrift on an iridescent
obsidian sea. A world in miniature."

Luster Vessel 1271 (7").

"Beautiful bottle vase in the deep blue-greens
of a secluded forest. Parallel drops of bright
gold suggest sunlight, which can only penetrate
its outer reaches."

Luster Vessel 1272 (5-1/2").

"Satin-matte iridescent vase in the midnight black
and sky blue of a retreating storm. The unsettled
atmosphere is streaked with golden lightning,
made ultraviolet in its heat."

Luster Vessel 1273 (7").

"Superb golden and copper volcanic vase,
intercut with tracery of silky lapis blue and
rich turquoise, iridescent at intervals. The
interior is a metallic copper."

Luster Vessel 1274 (7").

"A cubist Fantasia. Chevrons and angles dance
in delicate relief under molten gold of the
highest iridescence and reflection."

Luster Vessel 1276 (6").

A view deep within a forest pond, tangled with
aquatic grasses and the iridescent greens and
blues of reflected sunlight."

Luster Vessel 1277 (7-1/4").

"Substantial and potent classical vase in
rare copper-ruby and cobalt glaze of
richest hue. The vessel sports decoration
of linked iridescent golden rings;
an evocation of a timeless past."

Luster Vessel 1278 (6").

"A wonderful glazed vessel with deepest shades
of iridescent violet, pure red and merlot,
like the first approach of a summer night.
Deliberate trails of crystalline "stars"
complete the impression. Luster interior."

Luster Vessel 1284 (6-1/2").

"A molten Mars hangs in four phases within
cosmic strands of marbleized aqua and blue.
Bright iridescent interior."

Luster Vessel 1285 (6-1/4").

"The rarest and richest scarlet reds, violets and
iridescent oranges echo the pulchritude of a
setting tropical sun on this pristine vessel.
As fine a vase as I am capable of making.
"Red at night, sailor's delight!""

Luster Vessel 1287 (6-1/4").

"Clouds of iridescent gold chase the moonlight
through a sky of deepest midnight blue.
Metallic copper interior."

Luster Vessel 1292 (4-1/2").

"Serene blue planetary orb, wonderful to the
touch and pleasant in all its aspects.
Bright iridescent interior."

Luster Vessel 1294 (6-1/2").

"A raveled sky-blue curtain reveals a
background of pure cobalt blue. Delicate
tendrils of iridescent gold fall and flow
like cobwebs set upon by frost.
Metallic copper interior."
