Glass Auction

A rare hand-blown studio glass vase crafted by the renowned Vandermark Merritt Glass Studios from New Jersey (USA), dated 1979.
This impressive vase is finished in a deep cobalt blue glass with a breathtaking, metallic iridescent sheen (luster) that beautifully reflects light.
The vase is masterfully decorated with large, fused white flowers (gardenias or lilies) and flowing, deep blue and purple lines. The design is a clear, modern nod to the organic forms of the classical Art Nouveau period (Tiffany/Loetz).

Een zeldzame handgeblazen studioglas-vaas vervaardigd door de gerenommeerde Vandermark Merritt Glass Studios uit New Jersey (VS), gedateerd 1979.
Deze indrukwekkende vaas is uitgevoerd in een diep kobaltblauw glas met een adembenemende, metaalachtige iriserende glans (luster) die het licht prachtig reflecteert. 
De vaas is meesterlijk gedecoreerd met grote, ingesmolten roomwitte bloemen (gardenia's of lelies) en golvende, diepblauwe en paarse lijnen. Het ontwerp is een duidelijke, moderne knipoog naar de organische vormen uit de klassieke Art Nouveau-periode (Tiffany/Loetz).
