The upper part of the pyramid is smooth and regular; the lower edge of each side is irregularly wavy; and the underside is deeply and irregularly concave. When the pyramid is the right way up, it appears as if the viewer is looking at clouds over a bluish mountainous landscape within the pyramid.C.99-19971accession numberC.99-199727258priref27258urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/27258https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/27258down one ridge, near the bottomColin Reid 1997 R796signaturedealer's rectangular sticky label, inscribed in black biro, removed on accessioninscribed in black biro2470=/CRO15labelreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by of Nicholas and Judith Goodison through the National Art Collections Fundreferenceagent-156032adlib-agent-1560323aded83c-6f5c-39b8-a50c-07f712e01b2cGoodison, Nicholas and Judith199719971997-12-05givenFrom 2007 the National Art Collections Fund is known as The Art Fund1997CE19971997glassmakerreferenceagent-156046adlib-agent-156046e6a1a912-6c42-324b-92f0-d9daa770f226Reid, ColinText from object entry in A. Game (2016) ‘Contemporary British Crafts: The Goodison Gift to the Fitzwilliam Museum’. London: Philip Wilson Publishers: Colin Reid studied at Saint Martin’s School of Art, London followed by a two-year industrial apprenticeship as a scientific glassblower. He subsequently graduated from Stourbridge College of Art in 1981 and established his now internationally recognised independent glass studio in Gloucestershire. His mastery of the techniques of kiln-casting and polishing glass leads to forms that command attention through the play of optical illusion and intriguing reflections. Reid has always encouraged apprenticeships and has trained many studio assistants who work alongside him. Thanks to his tutelage, many of his students have gone on to enjoy successful independent careers. These include other glassmakers represented in the Goodison collection: Sally Fawkes (48), Angela Jarman (79) and Bruno Romanelli (18). In 2014, Reid was winner of the prestigious Coburg Glass Prize Alexander Tutsek Award and in the same year was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition with accompanying catalogue, Casting Brilliance, at Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum. Colin Reid: ‘When the piece comes out of the kiln, that is only the start of the making process. Pieces evolve and change at this stage as I respond to the cast form and begin the cold working processes. Chance plays its part. The tension between the planned and the controlled is always there: the quality I am after is elusive, but I know it when I see it.’ A life history interview with Colin Reid is available at http://sounds.bl.uk/Oral-history/Crafts.referenceterm-109890adlib-term-109890825251c2-9904-34be-b6ab-c855347f224720th Century, Late#referenceterm-107700adlib-term-1077008f5360fb-b262-3ae9-8942-b81cc0e3e848Elizabeth IIreferenceterm-34860adlib-term-3486067da8788-5315-3567-a4af-162c77de3840lead-glassHeightcm20.5Widthcm24.5referencemedia-196756adlib-media-1967568342dcb9-ca32-33dc-ad50-46307f367099jpegaa/aa33/C_99_1997_1_201508_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels1025widthpixels86517029264465861imagejpegaa/aa33/mid_C_99_1997_1_201508_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels592widthpixels50017029264465861imagejpegaa/aa33/C_99_1997_1_201508_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels1025widthpixels86517029264465861imagejpegaa/aa33/preview_C_99_1997_1_201508_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels296widthpixels25017029264465861image0media
