I am not sure when I originally saw this Picasso-inspired, glass sax sculpture on etsy<\/a>, but it was a little while ago. What caught my attention was its combination of two of my favourite things: glass and saxophones. <\/p>\n

Besides having 25+\/- vintage saxophones\u2014most of which are fully restored, and\/or in original, nearly mint condition\u2014 I do have a fairly nice collection of vintage Italian and Canadian art glass pieces. This is some of them in a display cabinet I had purpose-built about 8 years ago.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when I saw this glass saxophone sculpture by Italian glass master, Alessandro Padoan, <\/a>I was immediately drawn to its beauty, style, and the artist’s use of colours.<\/p>\n

I also appreciated the in your face<\/em> depiction of a cigarette that by today’s standards, here in North America at least, requires a PG13 warning. \ud83d\ude09  \ud83d\ude06 <\/p>\n
