Identification summary

The John Deacons Vortex is a premium contemporary art glass marble handcrafted in Scotland. It is characterized by a deep, three-dimensional spiral of colored glass ribbons or 'canes' that draw the eye into the center of the sphere, mimicking a whirlpool or galactic vortex. These are highly sought after by art glass collectors for their clarity and technical precision.
