Hand-Blown Spoon Pipes by Mark Nicely – American Glass

Hand-blown in the USA by Humboldt glass artist Mark Nicely. Thick-wall spoon pipes in two looks, all worked with silver and gold fuming that flashes amber and pink in the light and deepens in color the more you use it.

Fumed Honeycomb (#1 to #4): gold and silver fuming over a honeycomb of ruby-pink lines, so the head glows gold and the body shimmers pink and amber.

Twisted Stripe (#5 to #8): twisted stripes of colored cane and fine latticino netting spiraling from the bowl to the mouthpiece over a fumed base.
