Blue Whale/James Houston

Steuben Piece # 0272

 

 

 

Introduced in 1980 and designed by the incomparable James Houston, the #0272 Blue Whale is a solid crystal form cut to represent an iceberg, copper wheel engraved on the back with a Blue Whale which seems to disport itself within the Arctic Sea. A trail of bubbles rises from its blowhole. The Blue Whale, a creature of gigantic grace, is now almost extinct. It is the largest animal ever to exist on earth, usually weighing at maturity two or three times more than the largest dinosaur. Its tongue alone may weigh as much as an elephant and its voice can carry under water a hundred miles. Properly signed and in excellent condition.
