The mouth-blown glasswork of Kate Hume is usually organic in shape and jewel-toned in colour, but her recent Gem collection features harder cuts. The colours, however, are truly inspired by the gemstones after which they are named. The pieces have trails of clear glass added to them, which results in the crystalline effect of minerals and precious stones once cut and polished. Hume, based in Amsterdam, has been designing glass vessels since 1999. SM
