  • About the artwork
    At home we have a dashing snails jar. White, with a blue and orange swag from the foot swinging up gracefully. The three snails on the edge are blue with orange houses. What is there anyway with those exuberant jugs and jars, those silly salad bowls and theapots by Bernard Heesen? Or with those unadorned beauty of his spherical vases, which also are on his repertoire. What makes them so attractive, so desirable? The world of this glass blower is full of secrets.
