Wil torch worked this at the HighTide studio on Anacapa Street — 16 inches of 50mm tubing with a 5mm wall, which is the kind of weight you feel before you notice anything else about it.
The colour is silver slyme: it collects along the lip wrap and runs down the beaker in raised dots that catch light from the side. Between them the glass is carved by hand, and a particle collider marble sits on the fronr. It comes with a removable 18mm downstem and a 14mm bowl.
This is a piece Wil makes, not a one-off he made once. The form is his, the proportions are worked out, and he builds them in a range of sizes and colourways. Want this shape with your own colour accent? He'll make it — call or direct message the gallery and tell him what you're after.
