    Is it an Alien being? Blue says no!
    Actually it's my latest piece from Tony Kuepfer. This was made in 1983 and I have lifted a piece from "New Zealand Glass" below to tell part of the story.
    Tony exhibited at the Canterbury Society of Arts, and decided to create a show of figure sculptures - 'I surprised them in Christchurch that year when there were 16 of these and not a goblet in sight'
    There were many sizes and types of sculptures. Ones like this with a base and others with just the body and head. At least one of the pieces sported a hat. Sizes varied, one I know of which was the body and head type was 500mm high and the largest that I know off was 1000mm high, Violetta see it here https://christchurchartgallery.org.nz/blog/collection/2006/02/captured-light-the-glass-collection
    I got this from Tony last Saturday and is the biggest piece of art glass I have at 700mm tall and 270mm wide.

      What an amazing piece this is. I feel I might look at it time and again and see something different each time.

      Here the link has to be put in comments for us to be able to open it with a click. I'd like to read it.
