Frequent Art Questions
Can you tell me more about this?
That is a tazza (glass on a foot) made by the American artist Robert Mickelson in 1996. He was referencing design traditions in glass (from Renaissance Italy) but updating the form to look modern. What do you think of it?I thought it was a very whimsical design. If it was used practically, it would be the talk of any dinner party!I agree, it would certainly liven up an social gathering!
