Indigo Eye, Iridescent Glass Orb

A large glass sphere fills the frame, its surface shimmering with blue, purple, copper and silver iridescence. Tiny bubbles and glowing circular highlights speckle the curved surface, and a dark ring sits near the center like a lens or an eye. Curved, blurred glass shapes crowd the lower corners and a soft taupe-grey background surrounds the orb. The overall look is glossy, dense with detail and a little otherworldly.

A collector wants this piece for the dark, lens-like ring at the center of a full-frame glass orb. The ring reads as an eye or a small planet. Around it, indigo and cobalt glass shifts into copper, violet and gold iridescence, and the surface is speckled with tiny bubbles. Most glass-sphere photographs show a reflected scene or a bright, airy ball. This one is dark, dense and glossy, and it holds a viewer's gaze at the center before the eye drifts around the rim. It is a purely visual attraction: a moody, jewel-toned object to look into.
