Thomas Farbanish, a multi-media artist who primarily works in glass, is known for combining Classical vessel forms with unconventional embellishments. This white and black table urn, decorated in foliate and geometric details, although executed in enamels, has a gestural, painterly quality, as if applied with a brush.
