Oyster with Pearl Ornament ELON and Chive's hand-blown glass version

and Chive's hand-blown glass version passes that test at over three inches across

Consider it the Royal Ontario Museum's natural history wing rendered in miniature: all spectacle

Year-round display with no water and no vase arrangement — it mounts flat against any wall or rests on a surface and continues being milk teal indefinitely

ideally in a case near something Joan Jett once held

Oyster with Pearl Ornament ELON and Chive's hand-blown glass versionAn oyster ornament is a small joke about value a rough shell that spent its whole life manufacturing one perfect thing, now hung on a tree so you can admire the thing and the labor at once. Rendered in hand blown glass, shell and pearl sit together, made with the patience Chive has applied to glass since 2004. There is a rhyme there we like: two decades of blowing glass is its own slow accretion, layer on layer, until something clear emerges. TIFF
