Glass maestro Simon Moore has just added some particularly festive gem coloured pieces to his solo show exclusively on at Vessel. Moore’s pieces demonstrate not only his unparalleled mastery of the glass medium, but his keen eye for colour and drama. His platters, bowls and vases beg to be touched and used, yet work equally well as elegant still lives.

Moore has a distinguished and varied career as a maker, designer, creative director and Royal College of Art lecturer, and is uniquely placed within both the ceramics and glass world. He was one of the only outsiders ever to take on the creative direction of a prestigious Venetian glass company. When he held the reins of Salviati, he oversaw some of the most important collaborations of the company’s history.
Moore’s pieces demonstrate not only his unparalleled mastery of the glass medium, but his keen eye for colour and drama. His platters, bowls and vases beg to be touched and used, yet work equally well as elegant still lives.
 In his own words; ‘For me, to have an idea that my own skills could not achieve has always been unacceptable. To have an idea that stretched and extended my skills was all the better, but if the piece was just about showing off those skills then the result would be soulless.’
Vessel, the authority on contemporary glass, is proud to showcase the work of Britain’s foremost glass master, Simon Moore. For the last 25 years Moore has been designing and making pieces of renowned quality behind the scenes as Art Director for both Salviati, Italy and Dartington.
It is due time, therefore, for Vessel to shine a light on this talented man’s solo creations, which are functional, technically crafted, and sensuously fluid to the touch.
