Whilst exploring the incredible decorative pieces in Musée des Arts Décoratifs du Louvre (which is quickly becoming my favourite of all the larger museums) I was struck by the sheer beauty of a glass vessel by the designer Toots Zynsky. 'Coupe Blue Moon Total Eclipse Isla Bella' is a dramatic vessel formed by fused nests of multicoloured glass threads. It was a method I had never seen before and by researching further on the internet I discovered that it a technique unique to Zynsky herself. Her experimental vessels have distinctive undulating forms which are almost floral in appearance. They are delicate yet have strong presence and I believe it is this that makes them so likeable.
