A beautiful hand-blown studio art glass apple by Lake District glassmaker Adrian Sankey, produced at his Ambleside studio.
This compact example features layered swirls of deep blue, turquoise and green suspended within clear glass. The colour gathers more strongly through the lower section, creating a flowing, almost landscape-like effect, while the clear applied stem completes the classic apple form.
The original Adrian Sankey label remains attached to the base, confirming the maker and adding to the piece’s appeal for collectors of British studio glass and Lake District art.
Its smaller size makes it ideal for a shelf, desk, cabinet or windowsill, either displayed alone or alongside the other apples in this numbered collection.
