Overview

This is a striking example of hand-blown 'pulled feather' art glass, featuring a vibrant interplay of seafoam green and sky blue against an opaque milk-glass core.

Story

During the mid-20th century, glassblowers in Murano, Italy, and later in the American Studio Glass movement, began experimenting with ancient Egyptian 'core-forming' techniques to create bold, psychedelic patterns for the modern home.

Maker / Origin

While this piece appears unsigned, it reflects the 'Maestro' tradition of Murano or the burgeoning American Studio Glass movement of the 1970s.

Condition & Value

The vase appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks. This estimate is based on similar unsigned mid-century art glass pieces.
