Studio vase
« on: May 06, 2011, 01:23:53 PM »
I bought this recently and it has just arrived from America. Bought it on a bit of a whim, somewhere at the back of my mind was a hope that it might be an unusual inside out vase from Mdina. Well I really don't think it is but it is still lovely.

It's a little bit crude and wobbly (my kind of glass), about 5 inches (13cm) wide and three tall.

Any ideas anyone?

I think it's Sam Herman, I do, and I think it's gorgeous and I'm lustred green with envy.
You're a very, very jammy boy, John.  :tsk:  :P

I have to agree with Sue in that it strikes me as very early "studio glass" lots of bubbles, the light swirl effect.  I could well imagine it is a Sam Herman - haven't been able to find one here in Australia just yet - although he was here for two or three years in the 70s.

That's interesting, it does have some elements in common with a few of Sam Herman's pieces that I can find online and in book (so to speak). I'm thinking the use of colour and the trailed and marvered decoration (assuming that is what it is) but they were not exclusive to Mr Herman and of course it is not signed. It's still lovely whoever made it.

Thank you to both of you for commenting!

I found it in England. :usd:

Nothing that I do collect, as everyone here knows, but this is beautiful!

I had not noticed that Pamela but yes it does, alternatively the 'figure' could almost be riding a horse. ;D

That may be because the last film I watched was True Grit. ::)

That's what we're hoping for...... :sun:
Have to say, it looks less like his work from the side - it's a bit more busy than usual.

Couple of possible suggestions on this one:

One other suggestion, picked up this piece shown in the attached photo recently, I believe it was produced at Glassform.
