Glass and Drawings

It combines the traditional gaiety of Venetian glass with a feeling that is entirely of the twentieth century [...]. It has two of the characteristics that are mentioned in Vitruvius’s formula, it has ‘delight’ and it has ‘flavor’[...]. It could only have been made today; it takes liberties with traditional design that would have been impossible even a generation ago. It is undogmatic and it is amused.
