Richard Marquis is largely responsible for carrying classic, Italian, glassblowing techniques into a modern and international limelight. Infusing a sense of whimsy with the delicate craftsmanship of Italian glassblowing, his artwork has inspired a movement of modern glassblowers. He has improvised on the theme of a teapot throughout his career. This example is decorated with murrini, cut glass cane with colorful patterns.
