Topic: Bubbly studio art glass??

[bat20]

Hi,this little vase is 13cm high with bubbles of varying sizes fairly light and a bit of wear on the areas it sits on.It’s had it’s shape freely altered and the base pushed up ?.Art class ?, student ? Studio piece ?or  knocked up in the back streets of Beijing ?,any way I like freely formed pieces like this in any medium so I’ll find a nook for it .Highly unlikely but just in case anyone has any thoughts ?thanks .

Definitely not Chinese. I want to say Benny Motzfeldt but I've no idea really

  My guts had a bit of a suspicion it might be Adam Aaronson's early work.
I have a Selkirk vase with similar colours, but no bubbles. It's a more refined thing, but a bucketty shape.
I was a bit curious about the base marks.
Is there a biggish, thin, sharpish ring around the centre kick-up?
Like the Biot base finishes.

Thanks for the replies, I looked at her work aswell Christine and it looks a bit more substantial from the few examples on line…Yes I think the rod mark is on the edge of the push up Sue and slightly raised in places , my very first thought was to look for a Biot mark but the style and colours moved my thoughts on .,did they do pieces like this ?

I've been checking the Benny book, while she did make pieces with wonky tops like this, they have heavy, solid moulded bases and she works the colours quite differently - your vase has a kind of even mix compared to hers. The base finish is wrong for her. 

Apologies, I can't say I know much about the technique which makes the "Biot ring". I've only recently found it exists.
I don't think I have seen multicoloured Biot.

Instead of transferring the blown piece to a solid pontil rod Biot used another hollow blowpipe to hold the piece while the rim was finished. This left the characteristic ring pontil mark with the same smooth finish inside and outside the ring. Biot did/do make art glass but this doesn't look like one of theirs, especially the uneven rim.

Would that be a very different blowpipe with a huge diameter - one the size of the ring?
Where do they put the punty blob of glass?
Or isn't there one?
Does the hot metal just stick to the rim of the wide pipe?
(sorry for the unexpected inquisition  )

I've had a look on You Tube and, although it's not easy to follow, I think they use various size tubes, one had a flared out end and was heated in the furnace and then just stuck to the bottom of the piece. It's fascinating to watch.

  The trouble with watching films is the camera is never pointed in the direction I want it to be, and it moves around far too much.
It is not like being in the studio, watching the work going on, and being able to move myself to see the important bits.
There is a lot of interesting stuff to see though. I should persevere more, Nev. Thank-you.
