About this piece

Hand-blown studio glass inscribed 'Budgeree' adjacent to the rough pontil scar underneath.

The Studio & Craftsmanship

This premium charger was created at Budgeree Glass, the influential independent studio workshop operating in Gippsland, Victoria, during the early 1980s. Budgeree Glass holds a vital place in the history of Australian studio crafts, functioning as a hot-glass incubator where complex techniques were refined outside traditional industrial frameworks. The distinctive cellular or webbed pattern was achieved through a multi-layered frit process, where a molten glass gather was precisely rolled over crushed blue and white glass shards before being inflated and spun open.

The Piece

Measuring 23 cm in diameter, this free-blown piece demonstrates masterfully executed hot-shop techniques. The intentional preservation of a rough, unpolished pontil mark on the reverse serves as an explicit visual hallmark of authentic hand-worked artistry, underscoring its separation from mass-produced mold glass. The aesthetic beautifully mirrors the finest elements of mid-century Italian macchia design while remaining uniquely rooted in late-twentieth-century Australian studio glass history.
