aplogize for the delay in responding - needed to find the documentation ...
Robin Cass faculty member in Glass Program at Rochester Instutite of technology created the item you like. Bid started at 3K. It sold for 14K - this was a fund raiser auction.
Cass work is on perm display at Tacoma Museum of Glass and Center for Contemporary Art.
You obviously have an eye for art.
