Venus clam

Artist Åsa Jungnelius · 2021
Venus Clam is shaped in a mold at Kosta Glassworks and gets its subtle pink from a certain pink pot color .
The inspiration to Venus Clam is the famous painting “ the birth of Venus ” by Sandro Botticelli , made in 1480 , where the roman goddess Venus is brought to shore on a seashell . From the dreamlike painting celebrating beauty , the serving plate is made to elevate all places and occasions . The uneven base of the shell is mirrored in the flat surface of the plate . Streaks of color enhance the depth of the material which creates an alluring effect . It is a seductive invitation to life .
• Handmade and mouth-blown in Kosta , Sweden
• Excellent to pair with the new Crackle pink ( page 27-28 )
• The piece is beautiful on its own and as a sculpture
• Can be used as a serving plate
