AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gralglas Unikat-Vase – Technik-Meister Da Costa, 1981
For sale is an exceptional studio glass vase from Gral-Glashütte Dürnau, produced in 1981 and signed on the ground, diamond-engraved:
“Gralglas Unikat – Technik Meister Da Costa 1981”
The vase is a particularly interesting collectible from the late period of the traditional Gral glassworks in Dürnau. The piece is attributed to Technik-Meister Da Costa or is designated accordingly by the original ground inscription.
Design and execution
The approximately 21 cm tall Solifleur vase impresses with its striking, organic form. The slim, elegantly curved neck displays a characteristic smoky brown tint and transitions into an exceptionally substantial, clear base.
Particularly appealing is the heavy glass base with its plastically realized bubble- and facet-relief. Through the different glass structures, fascinating light refractions arise, giving the object a new effect depending on the lighting angle.
The vase was made from hand-blown, thick-walled art glass and shows typical features of high-quality studio glass works. The base is professionally flat-ground and bears the complete original signature.
Original signature
A special feature and very important for collectors is the handwritten diamond engraving on the ground base:
“Gralglas Unikat – Technik Meister Da Costa 1981”
The year 1981 is particularly noteworthy: it points to the last year of operation for Gral-Glashütte in Dürnau, which suspended operations in that same year. Thus this unikat comes from the final phase of the venerable manufactory.
Condition
The vase is in very good, age-appropriate condition.
No chips, no cracks, and no notable scratches. The ground base and the signature are well preserved.
