Palm Beach Jewelry, Art, and Antiques Show 2019 - Part 6

Dale Chihuly.  "Pink Seafoam Forms."  Blown Glass.

Table Top with 12 Scenes of Rome in micro-mosaic.  About 4 feet in diameter.

I enjoyed this when I first saw it, and looked for it when I returned.  In vain.  It was

nowhere to be found.  I asked a couple of dealers, but they didn't know.  Finally,

I asked Mr. Melissa of Melissa Antiques, and he showed it to me in a side room.

He had bought it.  Indeed, it is of high quality and value.

"The Pantheon."  It is made of thousands of pieces of glass smaller than a grain of rice.

You can see them in the lower part of the image.  Made in Rome, probably Vatican workshops.

"St. Peter's Square" in center of table, in micro mosaic.  Rome.
