Description
Sommerso Art Glass Geometric Trapped Bubble Vase
High quality smoke glass bullet vase internally decorated with stylized bubbles. Well-made vase heavy crystal vase with elliptical rim and pin-cushion bubble paperweight base.
The trapped air bubbles are tight and concentric near the base, forming a half beehive. The bubbles are veiled up from the base into the body of the vase forming 3 triangle shapes in graduating sizes. Look closely at the images to see this unusual effect.
Made by a skilled artist with thick quality crystal in smoke grey with just a hint of smokey green. Maker unknown at this time. We suspect is was made by one of the fine Scandinavian glassmakers like Holmegaard. Circa estimated 1950 to 1970.
Hand-blown sommerso in clear and moss green with soft pontil mark. Elliptical rim was cut, polished and beveled. Weighted ‘pin cushion’ base prevents tumbling.
Measures 9.25″ at tallest and 4″ at widest. In excellent condition. Weighs 3 lbs.
