    When I first saw the photo of this vase I fell in love.
    When my partner first saw the photo of this vase he said it looked like someone had vomited glass.
    Thing is, I sort of know where he's coming from.
    I still love it.

    I'm not going to go into technique here, I'll just let you look at it.

    All comments welcome, whether you like it or not.
    I think it's going to be a love it : hate it piece.

    2. racer4four racer4four, 9 years ago
      Lol Mike! Well said.
    3. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 9 years ago
      Well....I think it's colorfully spectacular! Yes, I agree with Mike in that it looks like melted taffy ribbons.
    4. racer4four racer4four, 9 years ago
      Gracefully left comment Ken - I appreciate your feedback! (I mean that, I fully expect it not to appeal to everyone)
    5. racer4four racer4four, 9 years ago

    9. Deano Deano, 9 years ago
      I just fell over. So cool. Love everything about it. Looks kinda like the old candles from the 70's.

    26. TassieDevil TassieDevil, 9 years ago
      Oh my goodness racer.......I have never seen anything like this before!!!!!! but it could grow on me I think!
    27. Vladimir Vladimir, 8 years ago
      Great vase Karen!
    28. racer4four racer4four, 8 years ago
      Tassie Devil I can hear your amazement lol.
      After collecting Japanese glass for a while I am inured to the weird and almost expect it, and also expect not everyone likes things as I have learnt to do. It takes training! You might get there some day!...many thanks.
    29. racer4four racer4four, 8 years ago
      Great to hear from you Vlad...many thanks.
    30. OneGoodFind OneGoodFind, 8 years ago
      You're so funny! I love all the colors and can't imagine the work that went into it.
    31. racer4four racer4four, 8 years ago
      Thanks OGF - glad you appreciate the work in this. There is lots despite the result being messy and out there- that's so Japanese. Either like that, or all anal and perfect.
    32. shareurpassion shareurpassion, 7 years ago
      LOL!!! Love this post. My first reaction was to leave the word "Vomit" and nothing else! But I couldn't do it. I had to throw the laughing in here too! Yep, I'm with him...VOMIT!
    33. shareurpassion shareurpassion, 7 years ago
      hahahaha
    34. racer4four racer4four, 7 years ago
      Dear Ms Sue , I don't care if you want to share the passion or vomit at my glass. I do care when you laugh maniacally. You might choke and then I won't hear from you again. Regards, Ms Headthingy
    35. shareurpassion shareurpassion, 7 years ago
      hahaha!!! I can't help it...
    36. Newfld Newfld, 4 years ago
      A very special vase with a bounty of color, I can see why you love it - the mauve ribboning is gorgeous
    37. racer4four racer4four, 4 years ago
      LOL Eileen, as you can see by comments you would not be alone with your feelings regarding this one. Absolutely we should all be honest and I welcome opinions.
      Thanks for going through my old posts, it's fun for me to revisit!
    38. racer4four racer4four, 4 years ago
      Thanks Jennie! I still love it because it is so Japanese in it's creation, particularly relevant to the 60s when it was made.
      I love the ribbon too, it moves it from nice to extraordinary!
