A gather of molten glass is pulled from our 2,300 degree crucible and fused with transparent lavender glass.
Small white chips of opaque are added and dragged in a water saturated wood block to add the wisps of smoke.
The now sparkling glass is sheared and twisted into the veils of a Genie rising from his lamp.
A gather of clear cases the Genie and permanently freezes his emergence in time.
Aladdin, a Middle-Eastern folk hero, used a Genie (Djinni) to become rich and powerful.
The tale is told in 1001 Nights by French translator, Antoine Galland, who heard it from an Arab Syrian storyteller in 1710.
