    I've had this for some time but have found it difficult to photograph. I've tried several times before these! I think it's meant to represent an Arum lily, and so the top is both clear and white. It shines blue when placed against a dark background, and actually more than I've captured here.

    It's much bigger and heavier than I imagined them to be.

      So here I was thinking you might have more floriforms and I went back and reviewed your posts.
      Crikey Peggy!! When I saw them all together man have you got lots of gorgeous glass!!! And now adding this? Spoilt!!! Lol

      What a lovely comment, Karen, very pleasing. I think this is the only shape called 'Floriform' because the flower is the vase......and I only have one! There, I'm not spoilt.....but I'd like to be :-)

      You know Sklo and racer I had never see one.. wonderful flowers
    4. Michelleb007 Michelleb007, 9 years ago
      Terrific piece, Peggy! I think it is an arum, too. Or possibly a Dracunculus vulgaris (Voodoo Lily) due to the crimped flat edge. And quite an unusual floriform; I have never seen one like this before, and I keep an extensive file of floriform images. Very nice!! :)

      This is particularly beautiful because it gives an image of a real flower,not a sofisticated (sometimes) figment of maker's imagination.The colours are so delicate...And it's getting more thanks to your photos!

      @kivatinitz....thank you for the compliment....I too saw my first floriform on CW!

      @Michelle....thank you too for the compliments....and for your horticultural knowledge, which I trust.
    8. sklo42 sklo42, 9 years ago
      @Ivonne.....thank you for your lovely comments. It is a rather understated floriform but I confess I'm surprised to have one at all.

      I've been away too long. You've posted some amazing glass while I've been gone. This is another fabulous piece, i think, my favourite, uranium and it looks so alien, the Triffids are alive and well!. I bet it looks amazing under UV.

      Ahh I've just read its a real plant, lol. Amazing.
