The Penfolds Ampoule Project For Your Rare Wine
The Vessel:
The glass sculpture was designed and hand-blown by Nick Mount, an internationally recognized glass artist. To encase the ampoule, Nick has designed and hand blown a conical, elongated plumb-bob of transparent grey glass with a ruby red ‘cotton-reel’ top. The plumb-bob is suspended in a bespoke Jarrah cabinet, with the ampoule held securely at its core.
Ampoule Project
The ultimate reflection of winemaking heritage, innovation and artistic collaboration delivers a ground breaking work of art encapsulating a rare and significant wine.

Work ethic shapes Australian glass artist Nick Mount's philosophy
By Mary Thomas / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
It isn't often one has opportunity to see the work of a "living treasure," and even more uncommon to meet one.
You can do both from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Friday at Morgan Contemporary Glass Gallery, Shadyside, where Nick Mount will attend an opening reception for an exhibition that includes seven works by the celebrated Australian glass artist.
A solo exhibition comprising 46 exceptional objects and drawings is simultaneously at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, Friendship, where he demonstrated his glass blowing technique last week.

Nick Mount Exhibtion in Pittsburgh Celebrates his bottles and bobs
Going on his fifth decade as a glass artist, Nick Mount is revered by many as a pioneer in the field. Glass had a resurgence in his native Australia a bit later than American Studio Glass and its influence on European art. However, Mount was at the forefront of the upswing of craft art in 1970s Australia, and has been perfecting his technique ever since. The Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) is providing a forum to consider the past decade of his artistic experimentation, and we can marvel at the modesty of an artist who according to his website is only now, “starting to understand the medium.” Nick Mount’s solo show runs through July 15th, 2012 at the Glass Center in Pittsburgh’s East End.
Titled “10 year of Bottles and Bobs: a Survey,” Mount’s work of the past decade is explored through his series of “plumb bobs” and ”scent bottles” for which he is most recognized. Heavily informed by the Viennese glass making tradition, his work also maintains a daring conceptual bent. In describing his recent works, he begins construction with the articulation of a skilled glass blower, then deconstructs the sculpture, gluing mismatched pieces together in more interesting ways.
In a press release sent to GLASS Quarterlyheadquarters from PGC, Mount is quoted as saying, “I am really excited to have this rare opportunity to show significant works from over the last 10 years and see their evolution as objects and changing ideas.” His process allows for a glimpse into the nature of evolution as he creates many objects with the intention of rearranging them post-completion. Over the course of decade of working in this particular style, the transformation of objects and ideas is more prominent than ever.
