Dante Marioni is a Seattle artist whose graceful, blown glass vessels are internationally recognized for their vibrant color and classic design. Marioni has a love and enduring respect for the process of glassblowing, a technique developed by ancient glassmakers during the first century B.C. For Marioni, making objects is about the art of glassblowing rather than the creation of glass art, the process rather than the result. His elegant works are the radiant record of his ongoing relationship with this material. His distinctive glass vessels are found in the collections of art museums, corporations and private collectors worldwide
