In 1969 he earned a Fulbright Grant to study in Venice, Italy, becoming one of the first Americans ever to work in a Venetian glass factory. While working in the Venini glass factory, Marquis learned to create inlaid glasswork and to use ancient Venetian glassmaking techniques. His pieces have been showcased in museums and collections all over the United States and internationally. Marquis is still making and exhibiting glasswork. Click here to see examples of his recent work.HOW WAS IT MADE?This Teapot Goblet was made with a technique called glass blowing. The decorative details on the teapot are made from thin colored glass canes (rods) that have been twisted together and carefully manipulated to form a lattice-like structure. Marquis learned this technique, called zanfirico, while studying glass making in Venice, Italy. Click here to see how the canes are made.WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS?Marquis creates colorful and humorous glass objects, while also referencing and playing with historical forms. In this piece, which is part of a series, a pale yellow goblet sits atop a colorful striped teapot. If you look carefully, you will see that the goblet, teapot lid, and teapot are all fused together, so that the teapot is non-functional. The teapot is set on a stem like foot made from vibrant red orange glass. Notice the small checkerboard tile on the goblet. This detail is often a feature of Marquis\u2019 teapot goblets. Marquis has been inspired by the work of ceramicists Jim Melchert and Richard Shaw and the cartoonist Robert Crumb, famous for his satirical humor."},"invno":{"label":"Object number","value":"99.078.125"},"description":{"label":"Description","value":"Blown glass vase of multicolored glass featuring a tapered top of yellow glass with red rim. On one side of the vase, a small piece of black and white checkered has been attached nearly half way down.  The tapered end has been attached to what appears to be the top of a red, orange, yellow, and clear colored tea pot shaped bottom with short spout on one side and looping handle on the other.    At  the bottom of the teapot emerges a stem-like foot made from vibrant red-orange glass. The teapot is decorated with vertical stripes of color, in geometric patterns and is non-functional--it is hollow but not open at the top."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Glass"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":"99.078.125"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Vase, Teapot Vase"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Decorative Arts"},"people":{"label":"Artist / Maker / Culture","value":"Richard Marquis"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://emuseum.cornell.edu/internal/media/dispatcher/93824/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"ca. 1989"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"200491"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"4 7/16 x 1 1/2 inches (11.3 x 3.8 cm)"}}]}
