Small Glass Dish ‘Crabe’ by Amalric Walter, a Pâte de Verre Vide-Poche Creation

This French “Crabe” pâte de verre vide-poche dish, by Amalric Walter, hosts a heart-shaped catchall dish which features an expertly rendered young crab in deep reddish-brownish coloring and with yellow accenting on its back seemingly being pulled into the greenish-bluish swirling sea below him. The coloring of the crab bleeds into the center “pool” of the dish, intensifying the sense of movement and the relationship between creature and element in the vide-poche.
