Studio Art Glass Iridescent Tumbler

This item is a hand-blown studio art glass tumbler or vessel, characterized by a multi-chromatic teal and seafoam green color palette. The piece features a distinctively textured, organic body with undulating 'crushed' or wavy indentations that suggest the glass was manipulated while molten to create a sculptural, tactile surface. A prominent feature is the high-gloss iridescent finish, likely achieved through the application of metallic oxides during the firing process, resulting in a luminous, oil-slick effect that reflects hues of lavender, gold, and pink when caught by the light. The vessel has a tapered profile narrowing toward a polished base, with a smooth, slightly rounded rim showing professional finishing. Condition-wise, the object appears to be in excellent contemporary state with no visible chips, cracks, or significant scuffing, maintaining a vibrant luster. The style is indicative of late 20th-century to early 21st-century American studio glass movement craftsmanship. While no maker's mark is visible in this view, the quality of the glass distribution and the sophistication of the iridescent coating suggest a skilled artisan or professional glass studio production.
