Organic Hand-Blown Glass Foaming Bubbles Vase

Hand-blown modernist glass vase with billions of foamy bubbles. Hand-blown, hand-formed art glass window vase with small opening and bullicante (dense bubbles) decor.

In retro lime-green, a popular color of the mid 20th Century. In the 1950’s a glass artist working for Kosta Boda named Erik Hoglund designed a range in this style of foaming bubbles in a freeform object. The organic modernist form was reproduced by Krosno (Poland) in the 1980’s. Repros have polished half moon pontil marks, this vase has a soft pontil mark and polished seat rim. Actual maker is unknown.

In excellent condition with medium bottom-wear on the polished rim. Measures 4.75″ tall and 3.5″ at widest point. Form is purposefully organic in nature.

    Mid-Century Hand Blown Cased Glass Vase And Wine Glass Set

    Retro modern blown cased glass vase and goblets with white inner casing and amethyst outer casing resulting in a creamy grape color.

    Hand blown cased glass vase is in great condition. Rim of vase has invisible chiggers. Cannot be seen, but can be felt. Unintentional trapped air bubble near base, maker’s miss, does not detract. Common with older blown glass. Tall, long stemmed wines are both in excellent, original condition. Both have tiny air bubbles on base. The bowls also have a couple small unintentional air bubbles, hard to see, won’t come out in images. Trapped air bubbles are commonly found on hand made glass from the 1950’s to 1960’s. Hand blown with inverted applied base. Rounded pontil scar on seat.

    The wine glasses measure 9″ tall. Blown waisted vase is 8″ tall. Estimated circa 1950s. Italian glass, possibly Carlo Moretti. Very popular form and style in the mid-century years.

    Waterford Mushroom Cap Candlestick Holder by Westmoreland

    Signed Mushroom Cap Candlestick Holder

    Beautiful pink cranberry stained signed & dated candlestick holder. Made by Westmoreland Glass Co. (established in 1889 – closed in 1984). The pattern was called “Irish Waterford” or “Wakefield”. The colorless glass glows light green under blacklight. This is evidence of Manganese, which will turn shades of purple if left in direct, prolonged sunlight. Gold was used in the stain recipe, it can be seen on the signature when studied under bright light. Gold was necessary to produce the dark pinkish red color. The candlestick holder was made with a 4-part mold from heavy glass with wavy straw marks.

    This piece was signed by artist C. McClain 1977. An old 1970s ad for this pattern (showing this candlestick) says it is “an historic glassware of unusual charm”. Westmoreland produced this glass as exact reproductions of antique glass during the George Washington period (Victorian era).

    The candlestick holder measures 5.5″ tall on a 3 5/8″ square base and weighs 2 lbs.
