Originally conceived in ceramic, the Penny vase series took on new life when Martyn Thompson met Aimee Frodsham of Canberra Glassworks, inspiring him to reinterpret the design in glass. Made in collaboration with master glassblower Tom Rowney, each bud vase honors Thompson’s late friend Penny Galwey and her love of history. Its form draws on a 600-year-old goblet from London’s Wallace Collection, reimagined through opaque hues and softly mottled surfaces.

Self-described as an “accidental expressionist”, Martyn Thompson began his career in fashion design before turning his eye to photography, capturing the worlds of clothing, interiors and still life. His creative curiosity later expanded into textiles, ceramics, and most recently, hand-blown glass—vases specifically, made in collaboration with Australian glass artist Tom Rowney at Canberra Glassworks. Rooted in color, pattern and the poetry of the everyday, his work bridges nostalgia and modernity with ease.
