Choker 4, by Galia Amsel

An image of Contemporary Craft. Studio glass. Choker 4. Amsel, Galia (British, b.1967). Clear, colourless glass, cast into a circle of triangular section with the base on top and the point underneath. On the side a section has been cut out to leave a 5 to 6 cm gap, the ends of the glass are coated with a pale green substance (enamel?). The upper side is smooth with three centrally placed concentric engraved bands. On the other two sides the decoration is integral, and comprises a continuous geometrical design with a horizontally striated background. The circle has been shaped, so that the split side and the side opposite to it are off the ground, with the result that it rocks on the areas touching the ground. Clear colourless glass, cast, height, whole, 12.0 cm, diameter, whole, 48.9 cm, 1998. Acquisition Credit: Given by Sir Nicholas and Lady Goodison through the National Art Collections Fund.
