Studio Art Glass Landscape Vase on Stone Plinth

This item is an ovoid-shaped studio art glass vase featuring an impressionistic landscape motif. The vessel is crafted from hand-blown glass with a multi-tonal surface design that transitions from light turquoise at the top to deep indigo and earthy browns near the base. The texture is characterized by a mottled or 'frittered' technique, creating a dappled effect reminiscent of sunlight through water or a clouded sky. Notable features include subtle metallic inclusions or gold aventurine flecks along the lower horizontal band, suggesting a shoreline. The glass body is mounted upon a dark, rough-hewn stone base—likely slate or basalt—which provides a stark organic contrast to the smooth glass. This construction suggests a late 20th-century or contemporary studio piece, often associated with glass artists like Michael Harris or the Isle of Wight Studio, though no specific signature is visible from this angle. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks to the glass, though the stone base shows natural irregularities inherent to the material. The craftsmanship is high-quality, exhibiting sophisticated color layering and a well-finished rim.
