Dichroic Glass Pendant Appraisal

Dichroic Hand-Blown Borosilicate Glass Swirl Pendant

This item is a handcrafted lampworked glass pendant, likely constructed from borosilicate glass. The pendant features a dynamic, abstract ribbon or 'swirl' shape with an integrated glass bail at the top for suspension from a chain or cord. The primary color palette consists of vibrant translucent cerulean and aqua blues, accented by layers of dichroic glass that provide a shimmering, metallic effect in shades of gold, silver, and iridescent green. These internal layers create a sense of depth and cosmic movement within the glass structure. The construction demonstrates skillful manipulation of molten glass, with smooth, rounded edges and a high-gloss finish. No prominent maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided view, which is common for contemporary artisan glass jewelry. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, fractures, or significant surface scratches, suggesting it is a relatively modern piece, likely dating from the late 20th century to the present. The internal particulate matter indicates the use of dichroic fuming or thin-film coatings characteristic of high-quality flameworked glass art.
