CRNL glassblower’s art

Artifact Number:

2019-120

Description

A 22 cm tall, blown-glass, goblet featuring a 9 cm tall porpoise in the stem.  Glassblowing was an important task and technique required in the early days of the nuclear industry.  CRNL was very well served with an excellent glassblowing cadre led by Rex Bailie.  In addition to the intricate pieces of glassware generated for numerous experiments, Rex produced artistic pieces that were highly valued as retirement gifts.  This particular piece was rescued from the Deep River Whistle Stop, a “second-hand” charity shop, and donated to the Society.
