The Vase was Made in 1982 and Sand Carving was the newest innovation by Fenton. Using Sand, artists employ hand techniques to carve a deep and delicate Iris into Amethyst Art Glass. By varying the depth of the carving the subtle shades of the iris are achieved. The rich Amethyst holds the IRIS proudly.  Vase is 6 5/8 inch tall and 4 inches wide at widest part..
