Cobalt Beach Glass and Crystal Suncatcher

THE ARTIFACT

This cobalt beach glass was reclaimed from the shores of Lake Erie. Each piece is unique. I have hand-wrapped the glass in gold wire and added gold hoops and crystals to catch and refract the sun. Comes with a suction cup.

THE ORIGIN

The striking pigments of our Deep Blues often trace back to early 20th-century apothecary and medicinal glass. Cobalt shards frequently began as vintage ‘Milk of Magnesia’ or ‘Noxzema’ jars, and locally, Conneaut light bulb glass.
