This handblown glass candy dish or ashtray is formed with steel molds crafted by Matt Kolbrener to capture surface textures inspired by the postindustrial landscape.
Perfect gift for a guy in your life and as a wedding gift for him
Matt Kolbrener has been honing his glass blowing and steel fabrication techniques since 2007 by working with and studying under world-class artists and craftspeople. Inspired by the post-industrial landscapes of Pittsburgh and Detroit, Matt's approach to shaping hot glass has its roots in mass production. He constructs custom-made molds and tooling to form and texture the hot glass into shapes that capture Detroit's rich manufacturing history in an industrial, modern, retro aesthetic all his own.
This dish/ashtray is handmade, so no two are exactly alike in size, shape, or color. They measure approximately 4 inches wide and 1.75 inches tall.
