Vintage Fish Bowl Art Glass by George Bucquet. A mold is individually crafted for each casting and the colored molten glass, formulated from scratch, is melted to 2350 F in a custom built furnace. This incredible vessel is handcrafted by the artist and his team using hot glass poured into a handmade sand mold, carefully pressed into shape. After several days of cooling in an annealing oven, the bowl was skillfully hand detailed in gold leaf. The golden fish, seen through the glass, create a unique sculpture. Light scratches (shown) on underside edge; visible crack in center; condition is fair.
