O'Dell Vases

A full 7 years before Britt Bonnesen "let the glass determine its own form" and Normann Copenhagen shared with the world how the glass and the glassblower together create what they call "The Swing Vase", in a small shop in Berkeley California husband and wife design team Scott and Cindy O'Dell also let the glass speak through them. Though never distributed as widely or becoming as well known as their Danish contemporary they produced many small, art glass pieces displaying imaginative color and form. I found three at a local thrift this month... And though not mid century, love the form and the colors ....signed "O'Dell 94", I picked up 2 orange and a green set thinking the zeitgeist is alive!!!
