About the Item

Michael Harris Isle of Wight Studio Glass Vase, 1980, Signed and Dated. This studio glass vase is a rare shape and form. Produced in 1980 after Michael Harris moved from his Malta Mdina studio to the Isle of Wight in 1973. Michael Harris did not sign a lot of the pieces he produced so the addition of the signature is a plus for this vase. History The work that is produced by Isle of Wight Studio Glass emanates from the design genius of it’s British founder, Michael Harris (1933-1994), a prodigiously talented and pioneering designer and craftsman. Michael graduated from the Royal College of Art (RCA) with first class honours in 1959 and later became an RCA tutor, setting up hot glass facilities there in 1967. The following year he founded Mdina Glass in Malta, remaining there until 1972, when he moved back to the UK. Together with his wife Elizabeth, in 1973 he founded Isle Of Wight Studio Glass, setting up the studio in a picturesque location at Old Park, St Lawrence.
