Robin Mix Hand-Blown Art Glass Sculpture or Vessel
This item is a contemporary hand-blown clear glass sculptural piece, likely a vase or decorative vessel, executed by the American glass artist Robin Mix. The object exhibits high-clarity lead-free or lead crystal glass with a complex, multi-lobed construction consisting of a central bulbous form from which several rounded, solid glass protrusions or 'feet' emerge. The craftsmanship demonstrates advanced flame or furnace working techniques typical of mid-to-late 20th-century American studio glass. A significant distinguishing feature is the artist's signature 'Robin Mix' applied in a gold-colored enamel or paint on the central body, rather than an etched signature, which is a notable stylistic choice. The glass appears to be in excellent condition with high refractive quality, showing no visible chips, cracks, or internal clouding (sick glass). The wall thickness appears substantial, indicating a heavy, high-quality piece. Robin Mix is known for his mastery of the Murrine technique; while this specific piece appears clear, it retains the organic, sculptural fluidity characteristic of his wider body of work from the late 20th century. The piece lacks a date but fits the aesthetic of the 1980s or 1990s studio glass movement.
