Couple
Woodman, Rachael
(Glassmaker)
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.
