Charles Parriott has produced works in the Flowered Soldier Series for over 20 years, expressive of an anti-war sentiment, built upon his earlier series; Hippie Glass and Flower Power. This work is typical of his use of hand craftsmanship and historic glassmaking traditions. The red and green pair are mold blown, stylized busts of soldiers wearing helmets, decorated with 6-petaled flowers.
