Circa 2008 Cohn-Stone Studios Apple Glass Sculpture

Design Plus Gallery presents a Hand Blown Apple from Cohen-Stone Studios. This handblown green and red glass pear distills the studio’s celebrated botanical aesthetic into a luminous, sculptural form. A delicately sculpted stem—shaped hot at the furnace—provides a refined counterpoint, their fluid lines and crisp edges revealing the maker’s control over molten glass. In good condition, made in Richmond, California, USA.

“Michael and Molly met through their common interest in glass. Michael graduated from UC Berkeley where he studied glass art in the 1970’s with Marvin Lipofsky, Dale Chihuly and Richard Marquis during the early days of the glass studio movement. He started his first glass studio in 1973. Molly also graduated from UC Berkeley and her hot glass experience began at Pilchuck Glass School in 1977 where Dale Chihuly was her first glass instructor. She went on to study at Orrefors Glasskolan in Sweden. By 1980, Michael and Molly crossed paths in the glass world and Cohn-Stone Studios was established. Both artists create their individually designed and sculpted or blown glass art pieces and together they create and produce the Cohn-Stone Studios lines of glass art.
