Centrepiece (4) - Glass - Lot: Ice Glass

For sale is an exceptional 4-piece confluence made of solid, clear structural glass with a strongly sculptural character.

The objects are distinguished by their extraordinarily heavy glass quality, irregular relief-like surfaces, and a design reminiscent of ice or frozen landscapes. The combination effectively conveys the characteristic aesthetics of Scandinavian and German studio glass from the 1960s/80s.

The set comprises:

1. Three-part “Alaska” Bowl by Peill & Putzler
A solid bowl in clear structural glass with a striking, three-part design created by internal supports.
Dimensions: approx. 17 × 18 cm
Height: approx. 5.8 cm
Weight: approx. 1,370 g
Condition: very good to excellent vintage condition.

2. Rectangular block vase
Massive, architecturally appearing vase in clear structural glass. The surface is relief-like and reminiscent of broken or frozen ice. The design shows a clear stylistic proximity to Peill & Putzler’s sculptural ice glass works, particularly to the “Alaska” aesthetic. A definite model number could not be established.
Height: approx. 17 cm
Width: approx. 10.8 cm
Depth: approx. 6 cm
Weight: approx. 1,273 g
Condition: very good vintage condition.

3. Tall sculptural solitary vase
Tall-format, very heavy vase in clear, solid structural glass with a highly plastically modeled surface.
Height: approx. 22 cm
Opening: approx. 7 × 7 cm
Weight: approx. 1,302 g

Condition note: In the upper area of the glass body there is a fine line about 2–3 cm long inside the glass mass. It is not perceptible from the outside and does not represent a detectable chip. It is visible depending on the incidence of light and is documented as well as possible in the final detail photos. No further damage was found.

4. “Volcano” tealight holder
Solid, sculptural tealight holder in clear structural glass with the characteristic irregular “volcano” or ice structure. The organic form complements the other three objects particularly harmoniously.
Dimensions: approx. 15 × 14 cm
Height: approx. 7 cm
Weight: approx. 1,095 g
Condition: very good vintage condition.

Total weight
Approx. 5,040 g (5.04 kg)

The four objects together form an exceptionally decorative ensemble. The interplay of the different forms is especially appealing—from the flat, three-part bowl to the two sculptural vases and the organically shaped volcano tealight holder.

The bowl is attributed to the Alaska model by Peill & Putzler. The rectangular vase also shows a striking stylistic proximity to the Alaska series; however, a definite model designation could not be established. For that reason, the designations are used with care.
