David Garcia Postmodern Fused Art Glass Charger Display Bowl

A striking example of late 20th-century American studio art glass, this large fused glass charger by renowned artist David Garcia embodies the bold aesthetic of the Postmodern design movement. Executed in richly layered black glass, the piece features a dramatic deep black center framed by an etched satin-finished border decorated with sweeping frosted geometric bands.

Scattered across the surface are Garcia's signature kiln-fused geometric elements in vibrant shades of turquoise, magenta, lavender, white, and black. These raised sculptural accents create depth and visual movement, contrasting beautifully against the monochromatic background. Both functional and sculptural, the piece serves equally well as a decorative charger, centerpiece, or wall display.

David Garcia's art glass is celebrated for its architectural compositions, playful geometry, and exceptional craftsmanship. His work has become increasingly sought after by collectors of Postmodern design and contemporary studio glass.
