Hand blown glass bottle
Signed to the lower edge
From the Ferrari series

A hand blown glass Vetrobottle by Cincinnati artist Darren Goodman (Ohio; born 1981). Created for the Ferrari North America’s International Challenge Races, the Vetrobottle features a visually dramatic thin neck and unique flat lip created organically through gravity. The artist uses an age old Venetian method called vetra a fili to create the red, yellow, and white swirl pattern (Ferrari’s trademark colors), then he allows gravity to create the organic fluted shape for a one of a kind artistic piece. The overall bright, red hue is broken by delineations of orange and white scattering across the free-formed base. The artist’s name is inscribed to the lower edge of the bottle.

Darren Goodman is a glass artist with his own studio in Waynesville, Ohio. After graduating from Bowling Green State University he apprenticed under master glass artist Leon Applebaum in Corning, New York then attended workshops with several glass artist legends to include Dante Marioni (Seattle, WA), Lino Tagliapietra (Venice, Italy) and Nancy Callan (Seattle, WA). Darren received the commission to create trophy bottles for the Ferrari’s North America Challenge Races in 2009 and was honored with the Cincinnati Art Museum’s 4th Floor Award in 2011. He has exhibited his art glass throughout the Midwest and enthusiastically coordinates glass blowing classes for students at both the elementary and High School levels.
