Nouveauscope
Collector’s edition limited to 25 of this design, which evokes the spirit of the Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th century, in both the exterior and the image form.
Full size, 20cm long with rectangular body in blue streaky glass with sinuous “whiplash-style” decorative motif. The 75mm axle-mounted tumblewheel contains lampworked glass organic forms. The image is an unusual double-chorusline with pairs of rectangular repeats forming a frieze. As with all tumblewheel ‘scopes, the image will never repeat exactly once the pieces have tumbled.
Only created in this colourway.
