Vitrix Hot Glass Studio Cobalt and Gold Bud Vase, NY Art Glass

Sculptural Organic Modern vase features rounded, elongated form, decorated with thin layer of gold foil fused over cobalt blue glass. The abstract, graphic pattern is swirling around the curves of the vase; the whole structure is enclosed in thin layer of clear glass in sommerso technique, adding depth and definition to the piece. Minimal shape of the vase is accented with pronounced, wide rim and considerable layer of clear glass on the bottom, functioning both as a structural foot of the vase and as a visual separator, elevating the vase from the surface it's displayed on . The streamlined form of the vase allows the bold flow of the pattern to take the center stage. The vase is signed and dated in etching on the side near the bottom; it comes with the original paper booklet. We are offering two cobalt and gold sommerso glass vases, created by Thomas Buechner III and Thomas Kelly for Vitrix Hot Glass Studio in 1990s; as Matthew has close ties to Vitrix studio, it is fascinating to see the reinterpretation of cobalt and gold theme by different artists with similar artistic background, and all three vases form a striking grouping when displayed together. Sculptural, highly decorative vase with graphic form, high quality craftsmanship, and statement piece presence will make a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Post Modern, Art Deco, Mid Century Modern, Eclectic, Transitional, Scandinavian Modern, Minimalist, Japandi, Collected, or Contemporary.
