*SOLD* A Hand Blown 1983 signed art glass vase produced by The Glass Eye Studio (Mount Saint Helens MSH), signed and dated 1983. The Glass Eye Studio is still producing art glass in the Pacific Northwest, and each piece incorporates volcanic dust from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens that was ejected from 20-30 miles under the Earth's surface. This vase has a "pulled feather" design, with pattern swirling in two different directions in different layers of glass to create an almost fish scale texture, which is a signature design of the Glass Eye Studio. The iridescence is set on top of a pure white semi-opaque glass, and shines with a beautiful pastel palette of the entire rainbow.
This vase measures about 7 3/4 inches high and about 5 inches in diameter at its widest point. The opening is 2 1/2 inches in diameter. It is in excellent used/vintage condition, with no visible damage, chips, cracks, or other imperfections. There is barely any scuffing on the bottom, and the hand-lettered signature and date is clearly legible. Because this is a handmade, one-of-a-kind art piece, it does have some very minor imperfections that were created during production, such as small air bubbles or bumps. These are all original to the piece. A stunning piece of vintage art glass!
