Couple
Glassmaker: Woodman, Rachael
Two svelte, slightly curving forms, one larger than the other which should be placed so that the taller form inclines protectively or companionably towards the smaller form. A (the taller form) is of bright grass green glass, cased in white, and again in green, free-blown, and cold finished. Oval in plan with sides rising upwards in a sweeping curve to a narrow oval mouth which has the casing cut away to reveal the clear green glass. B (the smaller form) is of bright grass green glass, cased in white and blue, and green made in the same manner. It appears bluish-green at the bottom and grass green at the top, and has a pronounced V-shaped 'split' in the white casing at the top and a clear streak running down one side.
