The "tree" is a piece called "Lilit" - it's a human torso, with various lenses all cut to fit each other, in varying shades of blues and purples.

The Exhibition is going the be at Broadfield House and I would really recommend making the effort to travel to see it if you possibly can. You need to be able to walk around the pieces.  :)

Thank you again for the wonderful information on the Broadfield House. Looks as if I would have to be a member or friend in order to access? I have tried to download their membership several times to no avail. Any other suggestion on comparing this piece to tree-lilit would be appreciated. Thank you Frank

Another fact is everything I have purchased from this contact has been from the 1950 to 1990. Have purchased two beautiful Vistosi Birds by Alessandro Pianon  so trust what era they told me this piece was from 1970-1980.

Also, Attila can be contacted here. https://www.facebook.com/prismagallery
He is very busy but is an authority on hungarian Studio glass and should be able to comment.

Hi Frank,

I don't think that it is Hungarian. The pieces that Sue was referring to are studio glasses, your pieces is more like made in a factory although not in large numbers.
If someone is interested in the exhibition at the Broadfield House: I will be there tonight for the private view (6-8 PM) and also give a tour on Saturday (30th May) starting at 2:30 PM.
The Japanese and Chinese piece that Chris mentioned is £4,600 (not 5,600). The price of the exhibited works ranges between £900-21,000. The Lugossy piece is a rarity, the artist has passed away in 2012 and she has pieces in the Louvre, British Museum, Corning, and many major museums.

The Lugossy piece is worth every single penny. 8)

My family and I just wish we had enough pennies. :'(

[Mod: Removing the [img] tag details to leave basic URLs does not display the images in Tinypic!!]

I want to thank everyone for their excellent feedback. Still trying to identify artist. I put this piece under studio lighting with interesting results.Their is a smokey or wisp form to the glass. Almost a facial expression that presents itself under lighting. At different angles it takes different shapes. One side of this piece is smooth glass and highly polished. The other has the cylindrical pattern embossed in the glass.
I want to attach pictures but haven't been able to yet. Need to get to 125KB
