Signed","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of two bowls by Musgrove that I have listed on my online store. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Musgrove trained in Art \u0026amp; Design at St Albans College of Art, where he was tutored in printmaking by John Brunsdon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe subsequently undertook a BA (Hons) course in 3-D Design at Manchester Polytechnic, specializing in furniture design\/manufacturing and hot glassmaking, and graduated in 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1980s Musgrove joined the “Glassworks” hot glass studio in Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, Scotland where he assisted in setting up the workshop with fellow glass artist, Jenny Antonio. The studio was just a few hundred years away from the site of one of the first glasshouses in Edinburgh, The Ford Glassworks - which dated back to the 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of 1986, the studio moved to Musselburgh - but it sadly closed in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn more recent times, Musgrove has turned his attention more to printmaking and exhibits regularly around the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2012 - he opened up Gallery Ten at 5 William Street in Edinburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis glass bowl is one of the unique hand-blown pieces that he made at Glassworks and is now a rare piece of Scottish studio glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main body of the bowl is clear with a liberally applied and undulating dark chocolate brown glass swirl throughout.  It has been quite difficult to photograph with all the reflections - so I hope that my images do this fine art glass justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe detailing on this bowl is a little more simplified than on my other bowl - and this is reflected in the lower price being asked for this design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is 6 3\/4 inches in height and has a diameter of 6 ½ inches. Unpacked it is 1.3 kg in weight. It is signed and dated 1984. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39337531736128,"sku":"Sold for £45","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1984-scottish-art-glass-unique-bowl-by-paul-musgrove-signed-british-800.webp?v=1785263406","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1984-scottish-art-glass-unique-glass-bowl-by-paul-musgrove-signed","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
