Vintage 1983 MSH Mount Saint Helens Pulled Feather Iridescent Vase by The Glass Eye Studio

*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!

Heart Shaped Cast Iron Trivet

*SOLD* This vintage trivet is a beautiful almost-blue color, but it isn't painted, it is just the patina on the cast iron. It is a classic ornate wrought iron design that vaguely looks like a heart. It has a small round hole at the top of the heart where I guess a leather or cloth strap could be tied so you can hang this up to store it. On the back of the trivet, the word BUTTERFLY is pressed into the iron. I don't know if that's the brand or the style.

This trivet measures 8 1/2 inches in length and 6 inches wide. It has 3 iron feet on the underside. This item is in great vintage/used condition, not surprising since these things are basically indestructible. There is no damage on the trivet. The only imperfection is a place on the back where it looks like either someone wrote something or it has a scuff or what looks like red paint. Please see photos for condition. This trivet is both a beautiful and useful piece of history and will almost certainly outlive us all - made to last forever.

Ornate Gold Cheese Board with Glass Cloche Bell

*SOLD* This amazing little cheese board or butter bell with glass domed cloche cover is like nothing I've ever seen! It has a gold and blue ornate 3-dimensional design inlaid into the cutting board. The design has a glass covering on it, and there are multiple layers underneath so that it changes when you move. I hope you can see this in the video. The cutting board is a beautiful deep wood (not sure the species) with 4 small feet on the bottom. It measures 8x7 inches, and has a place for a cheese knife, but the knife is missing. The dome that fits over the top measures about 6 inches in diameter, with a small hammered metal top and a gold metal rim around the bottom. The glass has a gold sheen painted onto the glass. Some of this came off when I washed it. Other than some gold paint loss on the glass, the top is in perfect condition - no chips or cracks, and it is nice heavy, quality glass.

This cheese board is in good vintage/used condition. Besides the missing knife, there are a few places where it shows some wear. There is a scratch across the central design, and a couple of places along the edge of the design where moisture has gotten in and done a little damage. Please see the photos to see the condition. Overall, this is a beautiful and unique piece. It has a little wear and tear that show it has lived an interesting life. I wonder where it came from? It would certainly be an interesting and lovely way to display your cheese or fruit for a party, or just to store your butter! Purchase this ornate cheese cloche now at www.ecoquirky.com

 

Blown Glass Purple and Yellow Vase

*SOLD!* This gorgeous hand-blown art glass vase contains pale yellow mottling that swirls, and beneath that the glass fades to a deep purple glass toward the bottom. It has a sculptural, flower-like lip. The beauty, shape, and coloration of this vase change with the angle from which you look at it. It was really fun to photograph! The vase measures just over 8 inches high, and is 5 1/2 inches across at the widest point at the top. It is about 3 inches in diameter other than the lip. It is heavy and has a beautiful concave bottom made of thick clear glass. This vase is in great vintage/used condition, with no cracks or chips or other damage. The imperfections that I see are all inside the glass, bubbles and small spots that I suppose are from the process of being hand blown. See photos for condition. It really is a breath-taking vase!

Vintage Black and Gold Octagonal Ice Bucket

*SOLD*  This fantastic vintage ice bucket is black faux leather with gold striped detailing around the top and bottom and a gold metal handle. It was manufactured in Taiwan by a company called Preferred Stock. The vinyl sides of this ice bucket are faceted octagonal, with round gold stripes. All of the gold metal, including the stripes and the handle, are bright and shiny and in wonderful condition. The lid of this bucket is clear acrylic with a gold round knob handle. This handle is plastic and painted gold, and there is some paint loss on the knob. The black vinyl is in great condition. As you can hopefully see in the photos, there are a few white scuffs on one side, but these are only on the surface and the vinyl itself is not damaged. The vinyl is fully intact and in great shape. This item is in great used/vintage condition, but it is probably at least 50 years old, so it is not perfect. This ice bucket is heavy and solid, no damage to the inner plastic liner, and it comes with its original ice tongs.

Please see photos for more information on the condition. It looks amazing for its age, and has a great mid-century modern styling that still looks modern and awesome today! Purchase this black and gold vintage ice bucket now at www.ecoquirky.com
