Free Blown Glass - Engraved
Colour: Reduced Opal Shwartz |  Based on the idea that all wars are the same and that we as society never learn anything from previous conflict. |  The piece is made of 3 free blown glass bottles from different eras (L-R) WW1 Model 1877 French 2-liter bidon, Modern US Army Canteen, WW2 British Canteen. |  Used Kugler Opal Schwartz reducing colour to give the glass the metallic finish, as if they were real canteens that had been drawn on. |  The same image spans across all 3 canteens, to establish that whilst the country and time origin of the vessel is different, all conflicts are the same. |  The images were free engraved onto the glass using diamond engraving bits. |
